A. Hyatt 1900Slender, short, exogastric orthoceracones and. eyrtoceracones, circular or compressed in section, Living chamber as compared with camerated
part longer and larger than in most forms, less contracted, and with open aperture in gerontic stage. Type C. (Pot.) cassinense, Whitt. sp. Ordovician to Devonian.
A. H. King 1998Diagnosis. Gomphoceroid, breviconic orthocones with circular to depressed section; phragmocone expanding forward fairly rapidly, anterior half of mature body-chamber slightly contracted. Sutures and growth lines straight and directly transverse. Siphuncle small, about 15 per cent. of conch diameter, ventral in position but not marginal.
