Trematoceras

Trematoceras is an orthoconic nautiloid cephalopod from the Upper Triassic of Europe and Asia named by Eichwald in 1851.

Trematoceras is included in the Michelinoceratinae, a subfamily of the Orthoceratidae[1] Trematoceras has a slender, subcylindrical shell with a bluntly pointed apex, long chambers, straight transverse sutures, and a smooth or faintly cancellated surface.

The siphuncle is central, tubular, and empty; septal necks short, orthochoanitic; connecting rings cylindrical or only faintly expanded.

Chambers contain prominent lamellar mural and episeptal deposits.

[1] Trematoceras has been found in Upper Triassic sediments in Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, and the Russian Federation.
