Trigonellites is an extinct genus of Late Jurassic ammonite, known from three species, discovered in an outcrop of the Kimmeridge Clay Formation in Ely, England.[2] It was originally classified as a bivalve,[1] but it has since been classed as an ammonite species. Only two species once placed in the genus are still considered valid today: T. latus and T. curvirostris, with one dubious species, T. simplex, possibly being a species of Lyrodon.[1]

The genus name Trigonellites was originally proposed for some calcareous plates found in Cretaceous oolitic rocks , but these have since been declassed as indeterminate ammonites. The name has since been used to represent three species of Late Jurassic (c.156-151 Ma) ammonites.[1]
