Linguatornoceras

Linguatornoceras is genus of ammonoids that lived during Devonian period. Animals belonging to this genus had discoidal shells with no umbilicus and moderately high aperture. On the venter, conch is rounded or flattened. There might be ventro-lateral grooves and constrictions. Growth lines are biconvex. Suture has deep adventitious lobe which is closely tongue-shaped and subacute. Their fossils were found in Australia, Germany and Russia.

No picture of Linguatornoceras was found. Wikipedia, Wikidata and iDigBio were searched and had none. Smithsonian Open Access did not answer, so this is what the others held rather than everything there is. GBIF was asked, and what came back is not recorded: nothing, or a picture this site could not tie to Linguatornoceras, or no answer at all. This entry cannot say which.

52 occurrences of Linguatornoceras on record, most of them in the Devonian. Bar height is expected occurrences, not a count: each fossil is spread across the span it is dated to, so a tall narrow bar means tight dating and a low wide one means loose.

When

52 occurrences

These are dates about fossils, not the animal: the record can only begin after it arose and end before it died out, so either end may reach further. Shares are expected occurrences: a fossil dated to a span is counted partly in each period it straddles. More on what this infers.

10 references

Each of the 52 occurrences read was entered from one of these publications, ordered by how many each accounts for. This is not a search for papers mentioning the name. Entries link to doi.org where the Paleobiology Database holds an identifier, and to its own record where it does not. Relayed as the Paleobiology Database holds them, not checked against what they resolve to.
