Nautilida The Nautilida constitute a large and diverse order of generally coiled nautiloid cephalopods that began in the mid Paleozoic and continues to the present with a single family, the Nautilidae which includes two genera, ''Nautilus'' and ''Allonauti ...

, 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.
