Clydonautilaceae

From Palaeos.org

The Clydonautilaceae is a superfamily within the nautiloid order Nautilida characterized by smooth, generally globular, shells (Kummel 1964) with nearly straight sutures in early forms but developing highly differentiated sutures in some later forms. Where known, the siphuncle tends to be central to subcentral. They are more or less equivalent to the Liroceratina of Shimanskiy (Kummel 1964).

The Clydonautilaceae, which began in the Late Devonian, comblines five families, three of which are restricted to the Triassic. Principal and forming the root sock are the Late Devonian to Upper Triassic Liroceratidae, from which Shimankiy derived his suborder. Derived from the Liroceratidae in the Early Mississippian are this Missisippian to mid Permian Ephippioceratidae. The three Triassic families, derived from Triassic liroceratids, are the Clydonautilidae, Gonionautilidae, and Siberonautilidae, all with prominent saddles and lobes in the suture.
