Forresteria is an extinct genus of cephalopod belonging to the subclass Ammonoidea. They flourished during the late Turonian and early Coniacian of the Late Cretaceous,[1] and were global in extent. Forresteria alluaudi and Forresteria hobsoni are considered marker fossils for the lower Coniacian in the American West.

Description

Although the whorl section and ornament of Forresteria are variable, it is easily distinguished from Barroisiceras by the presence of mid-lateral tubercles on the inner whorls, which later disappear or fuse with either umbilical or ventrolateral tubercles. Four subgenera are recognized [2]

  • F. (Forresteria): Whorl section moderately to very inflated. Mid-lateral tubercles fuse with ventrolateral.
  • F. (Reesideoceras): Whorl section less inflated than with F. (Forresteria). Mid-lateral tubercles fuse with the umbilical. Keel disappears on outer whorl leaving venter flat or concave, bordered by ventrolateral clavi.
  • F. (Harleites): Shell compressed, with high keel and steep umbilical wall. Early whorls have weak umbilical, strong mid-lateral, and fine, feeble ventrolateral tubercles.
  • F. (Zumpangoceras): Inclusion doubtful. Known only from crushed specimens from Mexico. Mid lateral tubercle strengthens with age.

Species

species in Forresteria include:

  • Forresteria alluaudi (Boule, Lemoine and Thévenin, 1907)
  • Forresteria brancoi
  • Forresteria hobsoni
  • Forresteria neo-mexica
  • Forresteria petrocoriensis (Coquand, 1859)
  • Forresteria peruana
Forresteria was named for Robert Forrester of Salt Lake City, Utah.[1]
