Laureloceras is a genus of the tarphycerid family Plectoceratidae that lived during the Middle Silurian in what is now North America.
The shell of Laureloceras is a smooth, slender, compressed cyrtocone or gyrocone with the venter more narrowly rounded than the dorsum.
The siphuncle is subventral - close to the outer rim; necks are straight, connecting rings slightly expanded into the chambers.
Reassignment to the Tarphycerida from the Barrandeocerida is based on barrandeoceratid taxa being polyphyletic (having more than one common ancestor).
Barrandeocerina is retained as a parking place for evolved tarphycerids with thin connecting rings.
