Glyptophiceras sinuatum

Cephalopoda - Ceratitida - Xenoceltitidae

Taxonomy

Dinarites sinuatus was named by Waagen (1895). It is a 3D body fossil. Its type locality is Chidroo, Bivalve Beds just below dolomite, Salt Range, which is in a Smithian marine horizon in the Bivalve Beds Formation of Pakistan.

It was recombined as Xenoceltites sinuatus by Kummel (1969), Wang (1978); it was recombined as Glyptophiceras sinuatum by Brühwiler et al. (2010), Brühwiler et al. (2012), Brühwiler and Bucher (2012).
