Oppeliidae
Oppeliidae are compressed to oxyconic, sculptured Haploceratoidea, either unkeeled, unicarinate, bicarinate, or tricarinate; with sutures in great variety, but ribbing usually more or less falcoid or falcate. The Oppeliidae is the principal family of the Haploceratoidea, with the longest duration, extending from the Middle Jurassic (Bajocian) to the Upper Cretaceous (Cenomanian) Their derivation is from the Hildoceratoidea.

Subfamilies
Nine subfamilies are recognized, the first eight of which are included in the earlier Treatise, Part L. They are the:
- Oppeliinae
- Hecticoceratinae
- Distchoceratinae
- Teramelliceratinae
- Phlycticeratinae
- Streblitinae
- Mazapilitinae
- Aconeceratinae
- Binneyitinae
The Binneyitinae was added by Donovan et al, 1981, transferred from the Stephanoceratoidea.
gollark: Maybe I should blog on my blog at all.
gollark: Yes. It has been decided.
gollark: Given some way to estimate whether a meme is probably derived from another one I could probably do this.
gollark: In lieu of that, it might be possible to track the spread of meme templates via watching reddit (their API is nice). Although I don't know how you'd isolate the template bit.
gollark: It would be cool to have a global surveillance apparatus capable of monitoring the entire internet to track the spread of memes.
