Balearites is an extinct ancyloceratin genus included in the family Crioceratitidae, subclass Ammonoidea, from the Upper Hauterivian.[2]
The shell, or conch, of Balearites is planispiral; whorls compressed, fairly flat sided, barely in contact (sub-gyroconic); venter (outer rim) rounded; ribs fine, flexuous, branching equally in 2s, 3s, or 4s from weak umbilical tubercles.[citation needed]
Genera assumed to be related include Aegocrioceras, Crioceratites, and Hoplocrioceras.
