Desmoceratidae is a family belonging to the ammonite subclass.[1] [2] They are an extinct group of ammonoids, shelled cephalopods related to squid, belemnites, octopuses, and cuttlefish, and more distantly to the nautiloids, that lived between the Lower Cretaceous (Upper Valanginian) and Upper Cretaceous (Upper Maastrichtian).
