Sciponoceras

Cephalopoda - Ammonitida - Baculitidae

Taxonomy

Sciponoceras was named by Hyatt (1894) [Sepkoski's age data: K Albi-u K Turo-u]. Its type is Hamites baculoides.

It was assigned to Baculitinae by Förster (1975) and Cooper (1978); to Ammonoidea by Sepkoski (2002); and to Baculitidae by Matsumoto (1959), Wright (1979), Young (1979), Kennedy et al. (1987), Henderson (1990), Summesberger (1992), Kennedy (1994), Kennedy (2005), Szives (2007), Kennedy (2013), Kennedy and Gale (2015) and Kennedy and Morris (2018).

Species

S. antanimangaensis, S. baculoides (syn. Cyrtochilus major), S. bohemicum, S. cucullatum, S. gracile (syn. Cyrtochilus stylus), S. kossmati, S. roto

Synonyms

Cyrtochilus was named by Meek (1876) [Sepkoski's age data: K Albi-u].

It was synonymized subjectively with Sciponoceras by Matsumoto (1959) and Kennedy et al. (1987).

It was assigned to Ammonoidea by Sepkoski (2002).
