Bayanoteuthis is a dubious genus of possible belemnite, an extinct group of cephalopods.{{cite journal | last = Sepkoski | first = Jack | title = A compendium of fossil marine animal genera (Cephalopoda entry) | journal = Bulletins of American Paleontology | volume = 364 |page=560 | year = 2002 | url = http://strata.geology.wisc.edu/jack/showgenera.php?taxon=231&rank=class | accessdate = 2009-04-10 }} It dates from the Eocene, tens of millions of years after the rest of the group went extinct though this genus is often excluded from Belemnitida.{{Cite journal |last=Reitner |first=J. |last2=Engeser |first2=T. |date=1982-12-22 |title=Phylogenetic trends in phragmocone-bearing coleoids (Belemnomorpha) |url=http://www.schweizerbart.de/papers/njgpa/detail/164/94956/Phylogenetic_trends_in_phragmocone_bearing_coleoid?af=crossref |journal=Neues Jahrbuch für Geologie und Paläontologie - Abhandlungen |language=en |volume=164 |issue=1-2 |pages=156–162 |doi=10.1127/njgpa/164/1982/156 |issn=0077-7749|url-access=subscription }}{{Cite journal |last=Macleod |first=N. |last2=Rawson |first2=P.
