Karagandoceratoidea

Karagandocerataceae Karagandoceratoidea is an Early Carboniferous (Mississippian) superfamily within the ammonoid order, Goniatitida, said to contain the Karagandoceratidae and Prodromitidae.

Adult stages are oxygonic[check spelling], having acute venters, or have distinct keels.

[1] The ventral lobe may be either bifurcate or trifurcate (two or three pronged) and there is a tendency to increase the number of elements ontogenetically in the suture.

Furnish, et al., 2009 [3] and GONIAT[1] theKaraganoceratoidea, is divided into the families Karagandoceratidae and Prodromitidae, with Karagandoceras, Bartzschiceras and Masonoceras included in the Karagandocertidae.

Previously, Deiter Korn (2006)[4] included Karagandoceras along with Bartzschiceras and Masonoceras in the subfamily Karagandoceratinae which he included in the Prionoceratidae as part of the Prionocerataceae.
