Gymnites

Gymnites is a genus of ammonoid cephalopod from the Middle Triassic belonging to the ceratitid family Gymnitidae.

These nektonic carnivores lived during the Triassic period, the Anisian age.

[2] [1] The shell of Gymnites is evolute, generally smooth, with a wide umbilicus.

Smith (1932, p. 30) shows Gymenites derived from Xenaspis and giving rise to the Pinacoceratidae.

Fossils of species within this genus have been found in the Triassic of Afghanistan, Canada, China, Hungary, Iran, Russia, Switzerland, Turkey, United States.
