''Oocerina'' is an extinct nautiloid cephalopod genus that lived during the Late Silurian of Europe, Russia, and North America. ''Oocerina'', included in the oncoerid family Oncoceratidae and arbitrarily within the Slender Oncoceratidae, is characterized by a moderately slender, elongate shell with an exogastric curvature, such that the lower side with the siphuncle is convex in profile and the opposite, upper, side is concave in profile. Shells are laterally compressed, curvature is gentle to almost straight. Chambers are short, septa close spaced, sutures typically straight. The siphuncle is nummuloidal, containing actinosiphonate deposits within. ''Oonoceras'' is similar except for having a generally stronger curvatue and a simpler, non-actinosiphonate siphuncle. ==References== * Dinosaurs to Dodos: An Encyclopedia of Extinct Animals by Don Lessem and Jan Sovak * Walter C.Sweet, Nautiloidea-Oncocerida, in the Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology, Part K, Teichert C and Moore R.C Eds, Geological Society of America and University of Kansas press, 1964 (K283-K290) 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「Oocerina」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
