Neocomitidae is a family of Lower Cretaceous ammonitids comprising genera with strongly ribbed evolute (all whorls exposed) to smooth, fairly involute (inner whorls mostly hidden) shells. with and (1996), Mollusca 4 Revised, Cretaceous Ammonoidea, vol. 4, in Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology, Part L (Roger L. Kaesler ed.), Boulder, Colorado: The Geological Society of America & Lawrence, Kansas: University of Kansas Press, 49-67.
In the 1957 description of the family Neocomitidae was regarded as the subfamily Neocomitinae within the Berriasellidae, a family within the Perisphinctoidea that ranged from the Late Jurassic into the Early Cretaceous. In a more recent treatment the Paleobiology database Neocomitidae entry accessed April 2013 berriaselids are regarded as a subfamily within the Neocomitidae.
Current opinion differs from the 1967 placement of Neocomitidae in the Perisphinctoidea but rather includes it in the superfamily Endemoceratoidea.Taxonomy jsdammonitesAmmonites, taxa
