Geisonoceras

Geisonoceras is an extinct orthocerid genus named by Hyatt, 1884, and type for the Geisonoceratidae established by Zhuravleva in 1959.

Fossils of Geisonoceras are found in marine strata from the Ordovician until the Devonian (age range: from 460.9 to 383.7 million years ago.).

[1][2] Shells are elongate, straight or slightly curved, and slowly expanding with a circular or subcircular cross section, transverse aperture and slight hyponomic sinus.

The surface has broad transverse bands with fine growth lines between.

The siphuncle is subcentral, necks short and straight, connecting rings slightly expanded into the chambers.
