Inversoceras is a genus of cephalopods in the order Oncocerida and the family Trimeroceratidae. These mollusks were fast-moving nektobenthic carnivores. They lived in the Silurian period, from the Lower Wenlock age (428.2 ± 1.5 to 422.9 ± 2.8 mya) to the Ludlow age (422.9 ± 1.5 to 418.7 ± 2.8 mya).

Distribution

<i>Ophioceras</i> Extinct genus of nautiloids

Ophioceras is a genus of closely coiled tarphycerid nautiloid cephalopods, the sole representatives of the family Ophidioceratidae, characterized by an evolute shell with narrow, subrounded, annulated whorls and a subcentral siphuncle composed of thin connecting rings that show no evidence of layering. The mature body chamber is strongly divergent and is the longest proportionally of any tarphycerid. The aperture has a deep hyponomic sinus and ocular sinuses, and so resembles some lituitids.
