Ammonoidea
Ammonoids are extinct spiral shelled cephalopods comprising the subclass Ammonoidea.
Blue Lias
The Blue Lias is a geological formation in southern, eastern and western England and parts of South Wales, part of the Lias Group.
First appearance datum
First appearance datum (FAD) is a term used by geologists and paleontologists to designate the first appearance of a species in the geologic record.

Friedrich August von Quenstedt
Friedrich August von Quenstedt (10 July 1809 – 21 December 1889) was a German geologist and palaeontologist.

Global Boundary Stratotype Section and Point
A Global Boundary Stratotype Section and Point (GSSP), sometimes referred to as a golden spike, is an internationally agreed upon reference point on a stratigraphic section which defines the lower boundary of a stage on the geologic time scale.
See Psiloceras and Global Boundary Stratotype Section and Point
Hettangian
The Hettangian is the earliest age and lowest stage of the Jurassic Period of the geologic timescale.
International Commission on Stratigraphy
The International Commission on Stratigraphy (ICS), sometimes unofficially referred to as the "International Stratigraphic Commission", is a daughter or major subcommittee grade scientific daughter organization that concerns itself with stratigraphical, geological, and geochronological matters on a global scale.

James De Carle Sowerby
James De Carle Sowerby (5 June 1787 – 26 August 1871) was a British mineralogist, botanist, and illustrator.

Jurassic
The Jurassic is a geologic period and stratigraphic system that spanned from the end of the Triassic Period million years ago (Mya) to the beginning of the Cretaceous Period, approximately Mya.
Karwendel
The Karwendel is the largest mountain range of the Northern Limestone Alps.
Northern Limestone Alps
The Northern Limestone Alps (Nördliche Kalkalpen), also called the Northern Calcareous Alps, are the ranges of the Eastern Alps north of the Central Eastern Alps located in Austria and the adjacent Bavarian lands of southeastern Germany.

Psiloceratidae
Psiloceratidae is an extinct family of cephalopods belonging to the ammonite subclass. Psiloceras and Psiloceratidae are Ammonitina stubs.

Synonym (taxonomy)
The Botanical and Zoological Codes of nomenclature treat the concept of synonymy differently.

Triassic–Jurassic extinction event
The Triassic–Jurassic (Tr-J) extinction event (TJME), often called the end-Triassic extinction, was a Mesozoic extinction event that marks the boundary between the Triassic and Jurassic periods,, and is one of the top five major extinction events of the Phanerozoic eon, profoundly affecting life on land and in the oceans.

Type (biology)
In biology, a type is a particular specimen (or in some cases a group of specimens) of an organism to which the scientific name of that organism is formally associated.

Watchet
Watchet is a harbour town, civil parish and electoral ward in the county of Somerset, England, with a population in 2011 of 3,785.
