Vericeras

Vericeras is an extinct genus of nautiloid cephalopod that lived in what would be Europe during the Silurian from 421—418.7 mya, existing for approximately 2.3 million years.

[1] The type species, V. ambigena, was originally described by Joachim Barrande as "Orthoceras ambigena.

Vericeras was assigned to Orthocerida by Sepkoski (2002).

[2] The shell is an elongated orthocone with fine, longitudinal ribbing, very similar to the shells of its sister genus, Arionoceras.

Fossil distribution is exclusive to Silurian marine strata in Sardinia.
