The shell of ''Megalytoceras'' is evolute and grew to be fairly large, to as much as 24.5 cm. (8 3/4 in.) in diameter in ''M. amplum'', from the Aalenian of France. Early whorls are elliptical in section and bear periodic flares. Later, or outer, whorls are smooth with convergent sides. The outer rim, or venter, is rounded. Embracement of previous whorls by the next is slight to mild. The umbilicus is rather wide, with an abrupt edge. ''Megalytoceras'' and its close relative ''Metrolytoceras'' are included in the Megalytoceratinae ==Distribution== Jurassic of Spain. 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Megalytoceras」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
