Reynesocoeloceratinae
The subfamily Reynesocoeloceratinae comprises early Jurassic ammonite genera that lived during Pliensbachian stage. These dactylioceratids existed from Ibex ammonite zone and died out in Spinatum zone. They have evolved from Metaderoceras and gave rise to subfamily Dactylioceratinae.[1]

Description
Ammonites with depressed, cadicone, or even evolute, serpenticone shells. Tubercules might be present. Ribs can be both single, or bifurcating. Some members of this subfamily show size dimorphism. They differs from Dactylioceratinae by suture. While Reynesocoeloceratinae has on dorsal side of external lobe two major secondary lobes, this is not so in Dactylioceratinae, as there is external saddle not divided, while lateral lobe is strongly trifid.[1]

gollark: You clearly know basic English grammar and Markdown formatting.
gollark: Yes, okay, that's the main verb of that clause.
gollark: I said "simplest solution", not "most likely" then, though I think the Wyatt hypothesis is both.
gollark: It is not proof. Proof is not really available for anything beyond logic and maths. But epistemology is a bit irrelevant.
gollark: The simplest solution is that you *are* WyattPlayzPC. Obviously.
