Order
Barrandeocerida Flower
in
Flower & Kummel, 1950
Remarks
The order
Barrandeocerida
was not accepted by
Dzik (1984: 46)
, who placed the genus
Barrandeoceras
Hyatt, 1884
within the
Tarphyceratidae
, or by
Flower (1984: 1377)
, who placed the family
Barrandeoceratidae
within the
Tarphycerida
. However,
Barrandeoceras
and similar forms, which were assigned to the
Barrandeocerida
by
Flower & Kummel (1950)
and
Sweet (1964a)
are clearly distinguished from
Tarphycerida
in having a thin-walled orthocerid-like siphuncle with achoanitic to cyrtochoanitic septal necks. The differences between the connecting ring structure and morphology in tarphycerids and barrandeocerids were examined and discussed by
Mutvei & Dunca (2011)
, renewing earlier hypotheses (see
Flower 1984
) of an orthocerid ancestry for the
Barrandeocerida
(see discussion below).
