Ostlingoceras is an extinct genus of ammonites belonging to the Turrilitidae family. [1]
Fossils of Ostlingoceras are found in marine strata of the Cretaceous (age range: from 99.7 to 94.3 million years ago.). Fossils are known from some localities in Angola, France, Italy, Madagascar, Mozambique, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and United States. [2]
Goniatites is a genus of extinct cephalopods belonging to the family Goniatitidae, included in the superfamily Goniatitaceae. Hibernicoceras and Hypergoniatites are among related genera.
Joseph John Sepkoski Jr. was a University of Chicago paleontologist. Sepkoski studied the fossil record and the diversity of life on Earth. Sepkoski and David Raup contributed to the knowledge of extinction events. They suggested that the extinction of dinosaurs 66 mya was part of a cycle of mass extinctions that may have occurred every 26 million years.
