Cabrieroceras

Systematic Paleontology Subclass Ammonoidea Family Werneroceratidae Genus Cabrieroceras

Cabrieroceras is an ammonoid cephalopod genus named by Bogoslovsky in 1958, included in the Werneroceratidae.

Shells of Cabrieroceras have whorls that are cadiconic, (wide and low), in the early growth stage, and become pachyconic, (thickly discoidal) at maturity. The outer rim (venter) and flanks form a weakly convex surface. The umbilicus is wide and deep. Ventral lobes are very wide, funnel-shaped, and lateral saddles are slightly angular and high. Siphuncles are narrow, about 1.3 mm wide with septal necks on the order of 2.5 -2.5 mm long.
