Deltocymatoceras
''Deltocymatoceras'' is an involute cymatoceratid (Nautilioidea-Nautilida) with broadly arched whorl sides, strongly convergent on a narrow venter that bears a slight, rounded, keel-like ridge, and with no distinct ventro-latera shoulders. Sides bear cymatoceratid ribs that bifurcate near the middle of the whorl sides, but do not cross the venter. The suture has a somewhat pointed ventral saddle, broad lateral lobes (one on each side) and prominent saddles on the umbilical shoulders (again, one per side). The position of the siphuncle in undetermined. ''Deltocymatoceras'' is probably derived form '' Cymatoceras'' by a rounding of the ventro-lateral shoulders resulting in a narrowing of the venter, coupled with the development of a pointed ventral saddle. '' Eucymatoceras'' from the Lower Cretaceous is similar, except for lacking the vernal keel. Contemporary, Upper Cretaceous '' Epicymatoceras'' is involute, discoidal. '' Deltoidonautiluds'' with its similar name, and converging ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cymatoceratidae
The Cymatoceratidae is a family of Mesozoic and early Cenozoic nautiloid cephalopods and the most abundant of this kind in the Cretaceous. They are characterized by ribbed, generally involute shells of varied form - coiled such that the outer whorl envelops the previous, as with Nautilus, and sutures that are variably sinuous.Kummel 1964. Nautiloidea-Nautilida; Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology Part K; Teichert and Moore (eds), Geological Society of America and University of Kansas press Cymatoceratids first appear in the Middle Jurassic, derived from the Lower Jurassic ''Cenoceras'' ( Nautilidae) and extend as far as the Oligocene. Taxonomy Ten cymatoceratid genera are described in the Treatise Part K, 1964. First to appear was the large, tightly involute, rapidly expanding '' Procymatoceras'' from the Middle Jurassic, followed by the Middle and Upper Jurassic '' Cymatonautilus'' which has a wide umbilicus and subquadrate whorl section.

Czech Republic
The Czech Republic, or simply Czechia, is a landlocked country in Central Europe. Historically known as Bohemia, it is bordered by Austria to the south, Germany to the west, Poland to the northeast, and Slovakia to the southeast. The Czech Republic has a hilly landscape that covers an area of with a mostly temperate continental and oceanic climate. The capital and largest city is Prague; other major cities and urban areas include Brno, Ostrava, Plzeň and Liberec. The Duchy of Bohemia was founded in the late 9th century under Great Moravia. It was formally recognized as an Imperial State of the Holy Roman Empire in 1002 and became a kingdom in 1198. Following the Battle of Mohács in 1526, the whole Crown of Bohemia was gradually integrated into the Habsburg monarchy. The Protestant Bohemian Revolt led to the Thirty Years' War. After the Battle of White Mountain, the Habsburgs consolidated their rule. With the dissolution of the Holy Empire in 1806, the C ...

National Museum (Prague)
The National Museum (NM) (Czech: ''Národní muzeum'') is a Czech museum institution intended to systematically establish, prepare, and publicly exhibit natural scientific and historical collections. It was founded in 1818 by Kašpar Maria Šternberg. Historian František Palacký was also strongly involved in the foundation of the museum. The National Museum houses nearly 14 million items from the areas of natural history, history, arts, music and librarianship, which are located in dozens of museum buildings. The main building of the National Museum has been renovated in 2011–2019, and permanent exhibitions are gradually being opened from Spring 2020. Origins After the French Revolution, royal and private collections of art, science and culture were made available to the public. The beginnings of the museum can be seen as far back as 1796 when the private Society of Patriotic Friends of the Arts was founded by Count Casper Sternberk-Manderschied and a group of other prominen ...

Hercoglossidae
Hercoglossidae is a family of Nautilid in the superfamily Nautilaceae. It was established by Spath in 1927 for smooth, involute nautiloids characterized by a suture with differentiated elements, known from the Upper Jurassic to the Oligocene. Four genera are described in the Treatise. They are '' Hercoglossa'', '' Aturoidea'', '' Cimonia'', and '' Deltoidonatilus''. All have a whorl section that is generally rounded, except for ''Deltoidonatilus'' where in it is triangular in outline. Sutural complexity increases from ''Cimomia'' to ''Hercoglossa'' and to ''Aturoidea''. The suture in ''Deltoidonautilus'' is like than in ''Hercoglossa''. ''Cimomia'', which intergrades with ''Eutrephoceras'', is the earliest and makes its first appearance in the Upper Jurassic. ''Eutrephoceras'' is assigned to the Nautilidae which includes ''Nautilus''. ''Hercoglossa'', which is derived from ''Cimomia'', first appears in the Lower Cretaceous and is followed stratigraphically by ''Aturoidea'' an ...
