Ammonoidea
Ammonoids are extinct spiral shelled cephalopods comprising the subclass Ammonoidea.
See Acrocanitidae and Ammonoidea
Belemnitida
Belemnitida (or belemnites) is an extinct order of squid-like cephalopods that existed from the Late Triassic to Late Cretaceous.
See Acrocanitidae and Belemnitida
Cephalopod
A cephalopod is any member of the molluscan class Cephalopoda (Greek plural κεφαλόποδες,; "head-feet") such as a squid, octopus, cuttlefish, or nautilus.
See Acrocanitidae and Cephalopod
Cuttlefish
Cuttlefish, or cuttles, are marine molluscs of the order Sepiida.

Extinction
Extinction is the termination of a taxon by the death of its last member.
See Acrocanitidae and Extinction
Family (biology)
Family (familia,: familiae) is one of the nine major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy.
See Acrocanitidae and Family (biology)
Genus
Genus (genera) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family as used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses.
Goniatite
Goniatids, informally goniatites, are ammonoid cephalopods that form the order Goniatitida, derived from the more primitive Agoniatitida during the Middle Devonian some 390 million years ago (around Eifelian stage).
See Acrocanitidae and Goniatite
Nautiloid
Nautiloids are a group of marine cephalopods (Mollusca) which originated in the Late Cambrian and are represented today by the living Nautilus and Allonautilus.
See Acrocanitidae and Nautiloid
Octopus
An octopus (octopuses or octopodes) is a soft-bodied, eight-limbed mollusc of the order Octopoda. The order consists of some 300 species and is grouped within the class Cephalopoda with squids, cuttlefish, and nautiloids.
Order (biology)
Order (ordo) is one of the eight major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy.
See Acrocanitidae and Order (biology)
Prionoceratoidea
Prionoceratoidea is a superfamily in the goniatitid suborder, Tornoceratatina that was extant during the latter Paleozoic. Acrocanitidae and Prionoceratoidea are goniatitida stubs and Prionocerataceae.
See Acrocanitidae and Prionoceratoidea
Squid
A squid (squid) is a mollusc with an elongated soft body, large eyes, eight arms, and two tentacles in the orders Myopsida, Oegopsida, and Bathyteuthida.
Taxonomic rank
In biology, taxonomic rank is the relative level of a group of organisms (a taxon) in an ancestral or hereditary hierarchy.
