Hamites

Cephalopoda - Ammonitida - Hamitidae

Taxonomy
Hamites was named by Parkinson (1811) [Sepkoski's age data: K Apti-u K Turo-l]. Its type is Hamites attenuatus. It is the type genus of Hamitidae.

It was reranked as Ancyloceras (Hamites) by Meek and Hayden (1858); it was reranked as Anisoceras (Hamites) by Moberg (1885).

It was assigned to Ancyloceras by Meek and Hayden (1858); to Anisoceras by Moberg (1885); to Ptychoceratinae by Förster (1975); to Ammonoidea by Sepkoski (2002); and to Hamitidae by Whitehouse (1926), Cooper and Kennedy (1979), Kennedy and Cobban (1990), Henderson (1990), Kennedy (1994), Arkadiev et al. (2000), Kennedy (2005), Szives (2007), Kennedy and Latil (2007), Kennedy et al. (2008), Kennedy and Morris (2018), Matsukawa (2021).
