Armenoceras

Index Armenoceras

Armenoceras is a genus of actinocerid nautiloid cephalopods whose fossils ranged from the late Whiterockian Stage in the early Middle Ordovician, through the remainder of the period and on into the Upper Silurian. [1]

15 relations: Actinocerida, Animal, Armenoceratidae, Cephalopod, Chazy Formation, Elrodoceras, Mollusca, Monocyrtoceras, Nautiloid, Nybyoceras, Ordovician, Selkirkoceras, Silurian, Type genus, Wutinoceras.

Actinocerida

The Actinocerida comprise an order of generally straight, medium to large cephalopods that lived during the early and middle Paleozoic, distinguished by a siphuncle composed of expanded segments that extend into the adjacent chambers, in which deposits formed within contain a system of radial canals and a narrow space along the inner side of the connecting ring known as a paraspatium.

Cephalopod

A cephalopod is any member of the molluscan class Cephalopoda (Greek plural κεφαλόποδα, kephalópoda; "head-feet") such as a squid, octopus or nautilus.

Elrodoceras

Elrodoceras is a genus of armenoceratids, (Cephalopoda, Actinocerida), that grew fairly large, characterized by a straight shell, slightly curved at the apex, a siphuncle narrower than that of Armenoceras but with segments still wider than long, and an arched endosiphuncular canal system.

Mollusca

Mollusca is a large phylum of invertebrate animals whose members are known as molluscs or mollusksThe formerly dominant spelling mollusk is still used in the U.S. — see the reasons given in Gary Rosenberg's.

Monocyrtoceras

Monocyrtoceras is a genus of armenoceratids (Cephalopoda) from the Middle Silurian of North America (Wisconsin), with a gently curved shell and a siphuncle like that of Elrodoceras.

Nautiloid

Nautiloids are a large and diverse group of marine cephalopods (Mollusca) belonging to the subclass Nautiloidea that began in the Late Cambrian and are represented today by the living Nautilus and Allonautilus.

Nybyoceras

Nybyoceras is an actinocerid genus assigned to the Armenoceratidae and similar to Armenoceras except for having a siphuncle close to the ventral side of the shell.

Ordovician

The Ordovician is a geologic period and system, the second of six periods of the Paleozoic Era.

Selkirkoceras

Selkirkoceras is a genus of armonoceratid cephalopods similar to Kochoceras of the Actinoceratidae, but with recumbent septal necks.

Silurian

The Silurian is a geologic period and system spanning 24.6 million years from the end of the Ordovician Period, at million years ago (Mya), to the beginning of the Devonian Period, Mya.

Type genus

In biological classification, especially zoology, the type genus is the genus which defines a biological family and the root of the family name.
