Ten species of the distinctive oxycone ammonite Oxytropidoceras are described from the Middle and lower Upper Albian Mzinene Formation of northern KwaZulu-Natal. Oxytropidoceras (O.) alticarinatum (Spath, 1922) was originally described from western Europe. O. (Manuaniceras) manuanense (Spath, 1921), O. (M.) falcatum sp. nov. and O.

(O.) hoepeni Collignon, 1936, O. (Adkinsites) multituberculatus Collignon, 1936, O. (Mirapelia) hourcqi Collignon, 1936, and O. (M.) colcanapi Collignon, 1936. O.
