Pseudotissotiinae

Belongs within: Acanthoceratoidea.

The Pseudotissotiinae are an Upper Cretaceous (Lower Turonian to Coniacian) assemblage of ammonites with tubercles tending to develop into keels (Wright et al. 1996).

Characters (from Wright et al. 1996): Moderately to very involute; whorl section compressed with flat sides to globose or triangular; venter varying from oxyconic to rounded-fastigiate; primitively with ventrolateral and siphonal rows of tubercles tending to become keels; siphonal keel may be lost or become dominant over ventrolateral keels or tubercles; umbilical tubercles normally present at some stage; ribs broad and sparse or absent. Suture variable, tending to simplify.
