Abstract |
Comments are given on the classification of the Cretaceous heteromorphy ammonoid family Nostoceratidae. A new genus is proposed to accommodate a distinct group of species, which is similar to Turrilit...oides in the mode of coiling and ribbing but has the apertural part of the body-chamber facing obliquely upward. This is probably ancestral to Didymoceras and several other genera, occupying a fundamental stock in the. family in parallel with Hyphantoceras. Thus two major lines of descent may be distinguished in the Nostoceratidae.show more
