Euaspidoceras

Cephalopoda - Ammonitida - Aspidoceratidae

Taxonomy
Euaspidoceras was named by Spath (1931) [Sepkoski's age data: J Call-u J Oxfo-u]. It is not extant. It is the type genus of Euaspidoceratinae.

It was reranked as Aspidoceras (Euaspidoceras) by Leanza (1947).

It was assigned to Aspidoceras by Leanza (1947); to Ammonoidea by Sepkoski (2002); to Aspidoceratinae by Parent (2006); and to Euaspidoceratinae by Spath (1931), Bonnot and Gygi (1998), Jain and Mazur (2021).
