Distribution and diversity
editAnasibirites is characterized by a cosmopolitan distribution, which is unusual for Smithian aged ammonoids and probably a consequence of the Smithian-Spathian boundary extinction. Although about 60 species were erected, only two are valid, A. kingianus (Waagen, 1895) and A. multiformis Welter, 1922.[1][2][3]
