Goniatites subarmatus Münster, 1832 from Schübelhammer near Heinersreuth in Frankenwald.

Opis

Diagnosis. — Ventrolateral spines restricted to juvenile stages, convex venter of the conch.

Remarks. — The species of the genus differ mostly in the course of their ontogeny, with juvenile parabolic nodes or spines being replaced with ribs or ventrolateral tubercles and finally the whorls smoothen reaching maturity. Too little is known about their population variability to be sure of taxonomic identifications proposed below.
