Garantiana is a strongly ribbed, generally evolute ammonite from the Bajocian stage at the beginning of the Middle Jurassic, included in the family Stephanoceratidae. Inner whorls are exposed in a wide and fairly deep umbilicus. Ribs arise at the umbilical margin and split in two (bifurcate) about midway up the sides and cross over the outer (ventral) rim.
