Euaspidoceras babeanum is an extinct ammonoid-cephalopod species that lived during the Jurassic period. [1]

Fossils of Euaspidoceras babeanum may be found in the Upper Jurassic, Oxfordian stage of France, around 154 to 146 million years ago. [2]

Description

Euaspidoceras babeanum has a shell reaching up to 40 centimetres (16 in) of diameter. [2] [3]

<i>Oppelia</i> Genus of molluscs (fossil)

Oppelia is a haploceratoid ammonite and type genus for the Oppeliidae that lived during the Middle Jurassic. Shells of Oppelia are involute with a small to moderate size umbilicus, bluntly rounded to sharp venter, and deeply impressed dorsum. Sides are generally smooth but may be variously ribbed on the outer flanks. Similar and related genera include Oxycerites and Oecotraustes.

<i>Hildoceras</i> Genus of molluscs (fossil)

Hildoceras is a genus of ammonite from the Jurassic period in the family Hildoceratidae. The shells are characterized by a narrow discoidal evolute shape, keeled venter, concave ribs along the outer flanks, and a shallow spiral groove running along smooth inner flanks. Whorls slightly overlap, cross sections are compressed. The ventral keel is bordered on either side by a shallow groove. The genus was named by Alpheus Hyatt after Saint Hilda in 1876.
