Quinnites

Quinnites is a genus of goniatitid ammonites included in the gastrioceratoidean family Reticuloceratidae known from the Carboniferous of the state of Arkansas, USA.

[1] Quinnites can be recognized by its thickly discoidal shell with a wide umbilicus and double pronged ventral lobe with a median saddle about half as high as the entire lobe.

May have spiral ornamentation, constrictions, or ventral groove.

[2] Quinnites, named by Manger and Saunders 1980, contains two species, Quinnites henbesti and Quinnites textum, both removed from Gastrioceras (Branneroceras).
