Garantiana is a genus ammonite from the Bajocian stage at the beginning of the Middle Jurassic, included in the family Stephanoceratidae.

Description

Garantiana is strongly ribbed and generally evolute. The inner whorls are exposed in a wide and fairly deep umbilicus. Ribs arise at the umbilical margin and split in two about midway up the sides and cross over the outer rim.
