Suecoceras

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Suecoceras is an Early Ordovician Endocerid nautiloid. They are characterised by long straight slender shells with a slightly expanded tip that curves slightly downwards.

A typical species, S. barrande (Dewitz), whose fossil remains are known from Sweden, has a shell about 15 cm long.
