Pachydiscus
''Pachydiscus'' is an extinct ammonite genus from the Upper Cretaceous with a world-wide distribution, and type for the desmoceratacean family Pachydiscidae. Its type is ''P. neubergicus''. Altogether some 28 species have been described. The shell of ''Pachydiscus'' is compressed and high-whorled, with an oval or flat sided section. Ribs tend to be differentiated into short umbilical and separate ventro-lateral sets, with a smooth area between. ''Pachydiscus'' includes two subgenera, ''P.(Pachysiscus)'' from the Campanian in which the ribs persist, and ''P (Neodesmoceras)'' from the Maastrichtian in which ribs disappear early, leaving an almost smooth shell. == Biostratigraphic significance == The International Commission on Stratigraphy (ICS) has assigned the First Appearance Datum of ''Pachydiscus neubergicus'' as the defining biological marker for the start of the Maastrichtian Stage of the Cretaceous, 72.1 ± 0.2 million years ago.
