''Eubostrychoceras'' is a genus of helically wound, corkscew form, heteromorph ammonite which lived during the Upper Cretaceous (M Turonian - Campanian). The genus is included in the ancycleratid family Nostoceratidae. The shell of ''Eubostrychoceras'' is a loosely to tightly wound spiral forming a corkscrew with an open, empty umbilicus in the middle. coiling is commonly dextral (right hand). Coils are covered by moderately strong, straight transverse ribs. The aperture, or apertural end, reverses general direction and points upwards or back towards to apex. Sutures are moderately complex. The siphuncle is located mid flank. ''Eubostrychoceras'' has a widespread distribution in the Upper Createous and has been found in Antarctica, Japan, Spain, the far east of Russia, Alaska, U.S. western interior, Madagascar, Germany, and Madagascar. In 2001 it was reported from Alaska's Matanuska Formation as well. ''E. japonicum'' is Turonian, and likely confined to the middle Turonian.〔 Related genera include ''Anaklinoceras'', ''Bostychocdras'', ''Didymoceras'', and ''Nostoceras'' ==References== ;Notes ;Bibliography * The upper Cretaceous ammonite ''Eubosrychoceras'' Matsumoto in the western interior of the United States by Willian A Cobban.
