''Hoplitoides'' is an ammonite from the Upper Cretaceous, Turonian belonging to the Coilopoceratidae, a family in the Acanthoceratoidea. ''Hoplitoides'' have early whorls which are grooved, then flat, and finally narrowly rounded venters; early stages with umbilical tubercles and space ribs, later stages becoming smooth. The suture is similar to that of ''Coilopoceras'' but less extreme. ''Hoplitoides'' has an established distribution which is widespread, from western North America, northwestern Africa and northern South America. Species include: *''H. gibbulosus'' *''H. ingens'' *''H. koeneni'' *''H. latesellatus'' (type species) *''H. mirabilis'' *''H. sandovalensis'' *''H. wohltmanni'' ==References== * *(The Paleobiology Database - ''Hoplitoides'' entry ) accessed 2 December 2011 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hoplitoides」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
