Nostoceratidae

Nostoceratidae is a diverse family of heteromorph ammonites found throughout the oceans of the world during the Late Cretaceous. The nostoceratids are famous for the bizarre coiling of their shells. Many genera, such as ''Yezoceras'', ''Ainoceras'', ''Anaklinoceras'', and some species of ''Bostrychoceras'' and ''Eubostrychoceras'', display, as young shells at least, a helical coiling very similar to the shells of the related family, Turrilitidae. As adults, though, the coils then curve away from the axis of coiling, either as an oxbow-like curve around the juvenile coils as in ''Ainoceras'' and ''Anaklinoceras'', or in a simple curved loop beneath the juvenile coils, as in ''Yezoceras''. Other genera form loose coils, sometimes in a spiral, such as those of ''Madagascarites'', ''Muramotoceras'', ''Hyphantoceras'', and the infamously convolute ''Nipponites''.
The ecology of nostoceratids is the subject of continued speculation, as the bizarrely coiled shells have no streamlining, strongly suggesting that the living animals had extraordinarily poor swimming ability, if any ability at all. As such, experts and ammonite enthusiasts presume that the nostoceratids either floated passively in the water column, or were bottom-dwellers that may or may not have crawled on the seafloor.
The nostoceratids, as with all other Cretaceous ammonites, perished during the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event.
