Cenoceras

Cenoceras (meaning "recent horn") is an extinct genus within the cephalopod mollusc family Nautilidae, which in turn makes up part of the superfamily Nautilaceae.

The type species is Cenoceras intermedium, which was originally described by Sowerby 1816 as Nautilus intermedius.

[1] [3] Shells of these nektonic carnivores are variable in form, depending on species; ranges from evolute to involute, compressed lenticular to globose with rounded to flattened venter and flanks.

The suture generally has shallow ventral and lateral lobes.

The location of the siphuncle is variable, but never at an extreme ventral or dorsal position (Kümmel 1964, K449).
