Groenlandibelidae is a family of coleoid cephalopods believed to belong to the spirulids.
Morphologically, its taxa seem to have some belemnoid characteristics, suggesting a possible intermediate relationship.[2]
Monospecific, Groenlandibelus rosenkrantzi Jeletzky, 1966 (Birkelund, 1956). The fossil range is from Campanian to Maastrichtian[1] Some material originally was ascribed to Belemnoteuthis before being allocated its own genus.
Some taxa now assigned to the Groenlandibelus are now assigned to Cyrtobelus. Species:
The fossil range is from Upper Campanian to upper Maastrichtian with localities in Vancouver Island (BC) and West Greenland
The fossil range of Naefia is from Cenomanian to Campanian.[1]
