Emericiceras SARKAR, 1954
1.0 M 127 MYA

Modern model

Systematics: Emericiceratidae, Ammonitida, Ammonoidea («Neocephalopoda»), Cephalopoda, Mollusca
Habitat: marine, continental slope; demersal, nektonic

This very large, heteromorph genus of the Ammonoidea is known from Early Cretaceous marine sediments of at least Europe and Africa. The shape of its ribbed and spiny shell corresponds to a stretched open spiral with an initial subquadrate whorl section. All heteromorph ammonites had uncoiled external shells («Ectocochlea»). It is uncertain why such cephalopods evolved that frequently were poor swimmers. «Heteromorphic» means occurring in various forms at different stages of the life cycle.
