It was assigned to Pseudorthocerida by Barskov (1968); and to Orthocerida by Sweet (1964), Evans (1994) and Evans (1994).[2][3]MorphologyThe shell is usually long, and may be straight ("orthoconic") or gently curved. In life, these animals may have been similar to the modern squid, except for the long shell. Fossil distributionFossil distribution is exclusive to Sardinia, Wisconsin USA, and northern Ontario, Canada.
