Anoploceras
''Anoploceras'' is a genus of Middle and Upper Triassic nautiloids included in the Tainoceratidae, known from eastern Europe. The shell is evolute with only a slight overlap of previous whorls. Whorl section is subquadrate, like ''Pleuronautilus ''Pleuronautilus'' is a nautiloid genus; family Tainoceratidae, order Nautilida. Description The shell is evolute, discoidal; whorl section subquadrade, flanks generally straight but may converge toward the venter. Inner flanks have course ...'', only depressed. Flanks have conspicuous ribs that may be somewhat sinuous. '' Holconautilus'' has a more rounded venter, and flanks, and is more evolute. '' Enoploceras'' has weaker ribs that expand into nodes on the umbilical and ventro-lateral shoulders, and a small umbilical perforation. '' Encoiloceras'' has strong ribbing, a large umbilical perforation, and a shallow groove along the venter. ''References'' * Bernhard Kummel, 1964. Nautiloidea-Nautilida. Treatise on Invertebrate ...

Enoploceras
''Enoploceras'' is a Tainoceratid genus, a nautiloid cephalopod in the order Nautilida, known from Triassic sediments in Europe, India, Timor, and the state of Idaho. ''Enoploceras'' is characterised by its moderately involute shell with a broad subquadrarte whorl section; venter and flanks flattened; ventral and umbilical shoulders sharply rounded; flanks with nodes at ventral or umbilical shoulders or both, and with radial ribs and sinuous growth lines; umbilicus deep, straight walled, and with small perforation. The siphuncle is subcentral. Sutures form shallow lobes on the venter, flanks and dorsum. ''Enoploceras'' is like ''Anoploceras ''Anoploceras'' is a genus of Middle and Upper Triassic nautiloids included in the Tainoceratidae, known from eastern Europe.

Encoiloceras
''Encoiloceras'' is a genus of Tainoceratids, a nautiloid cephalopod in the order Nautilida that has been found in Upper Triassic ( Carnian) sediments in the Alps and Hungary. ''Encoiloceras'' has an evolute shell with a wide umbilicus and large umbilical perforation in the middle. The whorl section is subquadrate with a rounded venter. Flanks bear thick, foldlike, ribs that thicken at the ventral shoulders. The suture has shallow lobes on all sides and the supuncle is close to the dorsum, i.e. to the inner rim. ''Encoiloceras'' is similar to ''Anoploceras'' in that both have pronounced ribbing, although stronger in ''Encoiloceras'', but differs in that ''Encoiloceras'' has a wide umbilical perforation, lacking in ''Anoploceras''. It is also similar to ''Enoploceras ''Enoploceras'' is a Tainoceratid genus, a nautiloid cephalopod in the order Nautilida, known from Triassic sediments in Europe, India, Timor, and the state of Idaho.

Tainoceratidae
Tainoceratidae is a family of late Paleozoic and Triassic nautiloids that are a part of the order Nautilida, characterized by large, generally evolute shells with quadrate to rectangular whorl sections. Shells may bear ribs or nodes, or both. Tainoceratidae forms the larger of the two branches of the superfamily Tainocerataceae derived from the earlier family Rutoceratidae around the end of the Devonian or early in the Mississippian (Lower Carboniferous). The other branch is the family Koninckioceratidae, which is confined to the Paleozoic. The family Tainoceratidae, in contrast, extends to almost to the end of the Triassic and during the Early Permian, possibly gave rise to the small family, Rhiphaeoceratidae. The Tainoceratids are contemporary with the family Grypoceratidae, the dominant trigonoceratacean family, and with the family Liroceratidae form the bulk of species in the superfamily Clydonautilaceae, all three of which have the same Early Carboniferous to Triassic ...

Holconautilus
''Holconautilus'' is a genus of nautiloids from the family Tainoceratidae and order Nautilida, named by Mojsisovics, 1902, and known from Upper Triassic sediments in Europe and E Indies (Timor). Its shell, evolute, discoidal, with simple coarse lateral ribbing; whorl section, subrectagular with a broadly arched venter. ''Holconautilus'' somewhat resembles the Permo-Triassic ''Pleuronautilus'' except its suture has ventral saddles instead of ventral lobes and lateral ribs are continuous. ''Anoploceras ''Anoploceras'' is a genus of Middle and Upper Triassic nautiloids included in the Tainoceratidae, known from eastern Europe.

Pleuronautilus
''Pleuronautilus'' is a nautiloid genus; family Tainoceratidae, order Nautilida. Description The shell is evolute, discoidal; whorl section subquadrade, flanks generally straight but may converge toward the venter. Inner flanks have course ribbing, outer have rows of nodes. Sutures have shallow ventral, lateral, and dorsal lobes. Its siphuncle is small and approximately central. Fossil records ''Pleuronautilus'' has been found in Upper Permian marine limestone in Armenia, China, and Iran, sometimes associated with orthocerids, ammonoids, and other nautilids as well as other invertebrates; in Upper Permian offshore mudstone and calcareous siltstone in the northern Caucasus, and in upper Lower Permian marine sediments in Tajikistan with grypoceratids and pronoritids. It has been found also in Lower Triassic black marine calcareous shale in Afghanistan with orthocerid, aulacocerid, phylloceratitd and ceratitid cephalopod genera and in early Upper deltaic shale and marl ...

Prehistoric Nautiloid Genera
Prehistory, also known as pre-literary history, is the period of human history between the use of the first stone tools by hominins 3.3 million years ago and the beginning of recorded history with the invention of writing systems. The use of symbols, marks, and images appears very early among humans, but the earliest known writing systems appeared 5000 years ago. It took thousands of years for writing systems to be widely adopted, with writing spreading to almost all cultures by the 19th century. The end of prehistory therefore came at very different times in different places, and the term is less often used in discussing societies where prehistory ended relatively recently. In the early Bronze Age, Sumer in Mesopotamia, the Indus Valley Civilisation, and ancient Egypt were the first civilizations to develop their own scripts and to keep historical records, with their neighbors following. Most other civilizations reached the end of prehistory during the following Iron Age. T ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
