Taxonomy
Ceratites was named by de Haan (1825) [Sepkoski's age data: Tr Anis-u Tr Ladi-l Sepkoski's reference number: 302]. It is not extant.

It was reranked as Ammonites (Ceratites) by Munster (1834).

It was assigned to Ammonites by Munster (1834); to Dinaritidae by von Mojsisovics (1896); to Dinaritinae by von Mojsisovics (1882), Diener (1897); to Ceratitidae by Kittl (1903), Spath (1934); to Ceratitida by Sepkoski (2002); and to Ceratitinae by Tozer (1981), Jenks et al. (2015).
