genus of extinct heteromorphammonite cephalopod that lived in marine environments in what is now WesternNorth America during theCampanian division of theCretaceous period. Their shells were very similar to the related ammonites of the genus "Ainoceras ", where the young ammonite's shell coiled helically, and upon reaching adulthood, the youngest coil arched over the older coils.
