Cephalopoda - Ammonitida - Stephanoceratidae

Taxonomy
Teloceras labrum was named by Buckman (1922).

Synonyms
  • Ammonites coronatus was named by Bruguiere (1792). Its type specimen is Basel A01/042 and is a 3D body fossil.

    It was recombined as Ammonites coronatum by Hyatt (1900); it was recombined as Cadomites coronatus by Roman (1938) and Roche (1939); it was replaced with Teloceras labrum by Arkell (1952).

Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
A. d'Orbigny 1848 (Ammonites coronatus)Shell strongly swollen, not keeled, decorated, by turn, near the umbilicus, fifteen compressed tubercles, placed on the angle of the towers. Each tuber gives birth, below outside, with two or three rounded, broad ribs, which pass over the back, where they number twenty-six to thirty-two per round. Spire formed of towers twice as wide as they are high, wider around the umbilicus, where they form part angular which, inside the umbilicus, descends obliquely and is applied to the salient angle of the previous turn, and forms the umbilia into a regular funnel. Very wide back,
vexed. Mouth transverse, narrow, convex outside, angular on the sides. Symmetrical partitions, cut on each side into three lobes and saddles formed of odd parts.
Dorsal lobe a little shorter and wider than the upper lateral lobe, provided with three branches that are larger the lower they are. Dorsal saddle much wider than the upper lateral lobe, very jagged, formed of two unequal parts. Lateral-superior lobe broad, irregular, provided with three branches on the external side and two on the opposite side, independently of the terminal branch.
Lateral saddle a third narrower than the upper lateral lobe, very irregularly divided. Lower lateral lobe very small, conical, slightly oblique. The auxiliary lobe very oblique and very small. The line of the central ray, starting from the end of the dorsal lobe, intersects the tip of the lateral-superior lobe and passes below the others. The line of the shell tubercles corresponds to the middle of the lateral saddle.
