Turrilites acutus

Classification

Turrilites is a genus of helically coiled ammonoid cephalopods from the lower part of the Upper Cretaceous (Cenomanian and Turonian); generally included in the Ancyloceratina. Previously (Arkell, 1957) it was included in the ammonoid suborder, Lytoceratina. The shell of Turrilites is tightly wound in a high trochospiral, with an acute angle at the apex.
