Eotetragonites
''Eotetragonites'' is an extinct genus of ammonite.Sepkoski, Jac Sepkoski's Online Genus Database/ref> ''Eotetragonites'' is considered by some authors a subgenus of ''Eogaudryceras''. Species Species within this genus include: *''Eotetragonites duvali'' (A.V.M.D. D'Orbigny ) † *''Eotetragonites raspaili'' Breistroffer, 1947 † *''Eotetragonites rossmatteliformis'' *''Eotetragonites umbilicostriatum'' Collignon 1949 Fossil record The fossil record of this genus dates back to the Cretaceous (age range: from 112.6 to 99.7million years ago). Fossils of species within this genus have been found in Egypt, France, Madagascar, South Africa and United States (California). These cephalopods were fast-moving nektonic carnivores.

List Of Ammonite Genera
This list of ammonites is a comprehensive listing of genera that are included in the subclass †Ammonoidea, excluding purely vernacular terms. The list includes genera that are commonly accepted as valid, as well those that may be invalid or doubtful (''nomina dubia''), or were not formally published (''nomina nuda''), as well as junior synonyms of more established names, and genera that are no longer considered ammonites. __NOTOC__ Reliability of this list Most of the generic names in this list come from Jack Sepkoski's 2002 compendium of marine fossil genera, which can be corroborated by other sources such as Part L, Ammonoidea, in the Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology. Additional generic names included come from the Treatise or various peer review scientific journals. 150px, Ammolite is an iridescent gem stone">iridescent.html" ;"title="Ammolite is an iridescent">Ammolite is an iridescent gem stone made from the shells of fossil ammonites A file:Arcestes.jpg, 150px, The ...

Cretaceous
The Cretaceous ( ) is a geological period that lasted from about 145 to 66 million years ago (Mya). It is the third and final period of the Mesozoic Era, as well as the longest. At around 79 million years, it is the longest geological period of the entire Phanerozoic. The name is derived from the Latin ''creta'', "chalk", which is abundant in the latter half of the period. It is usually abbreviated K, for its German translation ''Kreide''. The Cretaceous was a period with a relatively warm climate, resulting in high eustatic sea levels that created numerous shallow inland seas. These oceans and seas were populated with now- extinct marine reptiles, ammonites, and rudists, while dinosaurs continued to dominate on land. The world was ice free, and forests extended to the poles. During this time, new groups of mammals and birds appeared. During the Early Cretaceous, flowering plants appeared and began to rapidly diversify, becoming the dominant group of plants across the Earth b ...

Nekton
Nekton or necton (from the ) refers to the actively swimming aquatic organisms in a body of water. The term was proposed by German biologist Ernst Haeckel to differentiate between the active swimmers in a body of water, and the passive organisms that were carried along by the current, the plankton. As a guideline, nektonic organisms have a high Reynolds number (greater than 1000) and planktonic organisms a low one (less than 10). However, some organisms can begin life as plankton and transition to nekton later on in life, sometimes making distinction difficult when attempting to classify certain plankton-to-nekton species as one or the other. For this reason, some biologists choose not to use this term. History The term was first proposed and used by the German biologist Ernst Haeckel in 1891 in his article ''Plankton-Studien'' where he contrasted it with plankton, the aggregate of passively floating, drifting, or somewhat motile organisms present in a body of water, primarily t ...
