Neocomitidae Salfeld, 1921

Pictet, Antoine & Bulot, Luc Georges, 2025, New or poorly known Neocomitidae (Ammonitina, Ammonoida) from the lower Hauterivian sedimentary series of the Jura platform and the Vocontian trough (France and Switzerland), Swiss Journal of Palaeontology (7) 144 (1), pp. 1-24 : 8

Family Neocomitidae Salfeld, 1921

Te Neocomitidae represent a major element of the ammonoid faunas of the lower Hauterivian sedimentary series. An adaptive radiation took place across the Valanginian-Hauterivian boundary, giving rise to the Endemoceratinae Schindewolf, 1966 and Leopoldiinae Tieuloy, 1971 and possibly to other new subfamilies. In Western Europe, the last occurrence of the Neocomitidae lies in the lowermost part of the upper Hauterivian record ( S. sayni Zone , Cruasiceras cruasense Biohorizon sensu Bulot et al., 1993 ). As already suggested by Bert et al. (2020), the occurrence of the Neocomitidae (e.g., Hatchericeras Stanton, 1901 ) in the upper Hauterivian and Barremian sedimentary record of the Circum-Pacific should be rejected.
