Tropitidae have subspherical to discoidal, involute to evolute shells with long body chambers and a ventral keel bordered by furrows. The surface may have ribs, nodes, or spines, or may be smooth. The suture is generally ammonitic, but may be ceratitic to goniatitic.
The derivation of the Tropitidae is uncertain but they seem to form a group along with the Tropiceltitidae and Haloritidae within the superfamily.

gollark: I sort of do too. My programs generally have basically no sensible error or weird input handling.
gollark: As this uses globals it is of course evil, but OH WELL.
gollark: To just lazily open `lua` with some variables in the environment:```lua_G.someVariable = 5shell.run "lua"```
gollark: ```lualocal modem = peripheral.find "modem"local hist = {}while true do write "> " local input = read(nil, hist) table.insert(hist, input) -- transmit "input" hereend```or something.
gollark: Yes, but that's not a great way to do it.
