Wikipedia:
Ammonites are excellentindex fossils, and it is often possible to link the rock layer in which a particular species or genus is found to specificgeologic time periods. Theirfossilshells usually take the form of planispirals, although there were some helically spiraled and nonspiraled forms (known asheteromorphs).
The name \"ammonite\", from which the scientific term is derived, was inspired by the spiral shape of their fossilized shells, which somewhat resemble tightly coiledrams\' horns.Pliny the Elder(d. 79 AD near Pompeii) called fossils of these animalsammonis cornua(\"horns of Ammon\") because the Egyptian god Ammon (Amun) was typically depicted wearing ram\'s horns.[1]Often the name of an ammonite genus ends in -ceras, which isGreek(κέρας) for \"horn\".
Orthoceras(\"straight horn\") is agenusof extinctnautiloidcephalopod. This genus is sometimes calledOrthoceratites. Note it is sometimes misspelled 1964:K222).
Orthocerasfossils are common and have a global distribution, occurring in any marine rock, especially inlimestone.
These are slender, elongate shells with the middle of thebody chambertransverselyconstricted, and a subcentral orthochoaniticsiphuncle. The surface is ornamented by a network of finelirae(Sweet 1964:K224). Many other very similar species are included under the genusMichelinoceras.
