Cochlioceras is an extinct baltoceratid genus from the lower and middle Ordovician (Arenig - Llanvrin) of what are now Europe, the U.S. (Vermont), and China, having existed for approximately 14 million years, from about 478 to 464 mya.[1]
Taxonomy
[edit | edit source]Cochlioceras was named by Eichwald (1860). Its type is Cochlioceras avus. It was assigned to the Baltoceratidae by Furtnish and Glensiter in Teichert et al. (1964)[1] and removed, with the Baltoceratidae, from the Ellesmerocerida to the Orthocerida by Kroger et al. (2007)[2]
