Balatonitidae

The Balatonitidae constitutes a family of Middle Triassic ammonoid cephalopods included in the ceratitid superfamily Ceratitaceae with variably ribbed, generally discoidal, evolute shells with ceratitic sutures, typified by the genus Balatonites.

Now also included are Augustoceras, Ginsburgites, and Platycuccuceras from Nevada, Bulogites from the Alps and Balkins, Huishuites and Reiflingites from China, Robinsonites from the Caucusus of Russia, and Cuccuceras which along with Balatonits has a more wide spread distribution. Judicaceras, although resembling Balatonites and Reiflingites, has been moved to the Danubitidae.
