Bettoniceras is genus of ammonite that lived during the Pliensbachian stage of the early Jurassic. It evolved from Reynesocoeloceras in Davoei ammonite zone and died out during Margaritatus zone. It is possible that Prodactylioceras evolved from this genus. Fossils of this genus have been found in Europe, Morocco, Tunisia,^[2] and Chile.^[1] Sometimes this genus is not considered valid, but just as a synonym of Prodactylioceras.^[3]
