Inyoites is an ammonoid genus from the Lower Triassic, included in the ceratitid family Inyoitidae.
The type species, Inyoites owenii, came from the Meekoceras bed of the Union Wash Formation, Inyo County, California.
[1] The shell of Inyoites is generally evolute, narrow, flat sided, with later whorls moderately enveloping those previous.
The venter is moderately to sharply keeled, the suture is ceratitic, with smooth saddles and serrate lobes.
Arkell, et al, 1957 as "Platycones with high hollow keel and distinct umbilical shoulder; radial ribs that diminish toward compressed venter"
