Also called antheroids. A group of ammonites in the order Ceratitida that showed remarkable adaptive radiation during the Triassic Period and developed into a wide variety of species. The representative genus is Ceratites , and it is important as an index fossil. The sutures are unique, with a mountain in the center of the valley on the ventral side, and the valley on the dorsal side is usually spatula-shaped with two branches at the tip. Some have almost no small indentations, some only have them at the valley bottom, some have mountains, and some are complex and multi-branched. They are found in various parts of the Indian and Pacific regions, and in Japan in Miyagi Prefecture, Tokushima Prefecture, Kumamoto Prefecture, Okinawa Prefecture, and other places.
