Euhoplites
Sign in to saveEuhoplites is an extinct ammonoid cephalopod from the Lower Cretaceous, characterized by strongly ribbed, more or less evolute, compressed to inflated shells with flat or concave ribs, typically with a deep narrow groove running down the middle. In some, ribs seem to zigzag between umbilical tubercles and parallel ventrolateral clavi. In others the ribs are flexuous and curve forward from the umbilical shoulder and lap onto either side of the venter.

In some, ribs seem to zigzag between umbilical tubercles and parallel ventrolateral clavi.

Fossils of this animal are commonly found in Lower Cretaceous, middle to upper Albian age strata.
