	Endoceras - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Some long-shelled forms like Endoceras and Cameroceras attained lengths as much as 3.5m (11 ft 8 in) - among the largest mollusc shells known.
		These giant orthoconic nautiloids are rare in the fossil record.
		But even the brevicones were weighed down by the heavy siphuncle and endoconic ballast and were unlikely to have been able to move very rapidly.

	InfoHub - Endoceras - An Ordovician Nautiloid (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Endoceras was a genus of Nautiloids that lived during the Ordovician (488-444 million years ago).
		It was a straight shelled Nautiloid and is believed to have sometimes reached a length of 3.5 m.
		Fossils of Endoceras have been found in North America (both Canada and the U.S.) and in Europe, for example in Norway and Sweden.

		Endoceras proteiforme Hall, 1847- Description from Flower, 1955
		Cross section is slightly wider than high in the mature portion, but compressed in cross section in the young portion.
		Endoceras is similar to Cameroceras, but with annulations varying from low and closely spaced to well elevated and distinctly apart.

		The gasteropods now developed all the leading types of shell (Pleurotomaria, Omphalotrochus) ; but both this class and the pelecypods (Lyrodesma, Ctenodonia, Modiolopsis) were subordinate in importance to the cephalopods.
		These mollusks were probably the most powerful living creatures in the Ordovician seas; straight-shelled, slightly curved, and nautiloid forms predominated (Orthoceras, Cyrtoceras, Gyroceras, Trocholites, Endoceras, Litoceras, Lituites, Actinoceras).
		Some of the straight shells were of enormous size, 12 to 15 ft. long and as much as 1 ft. in diameter, in the widest part.

	TONMO.com Forums - [Images] Reconstructions of Ammonoids and Nautiloids
		The shell of Endoceras is absolutely typical of the orthoconic nautiloids and consists of a characteristic long conical shell composed of a series of interlinked cones (endocones) connected with a sub-ventral siphuncle.
		Endoceras probably reached at least 3.5m in length, but some other members of the Endoceratidae (e.g Cameroceras) may have reached much larger sizes.
		Such a shell shape allowed Endoceras to cut through the water at great speed as it would have minimised drag, though it may have not been especially manouverable.

	Palaeos Metazoa: Mollusca: Cyrtosoma: Cephalopoda: Endocerida
		During the middle Ordovician some long-shelled forms like Endoceras and Cameroceras attained lengths of 4 to as much as 10 meters - among the largest molluscan shells ever.
		The relatively small living chamber and capacious siphuncle indicates that much of the visceral mass of the animal may have been housed within the siphuncle itself, unlike other nautiloids in which the body is located in the living chamber.
		Without doubt these large animals were the superpredators of the Ordovician, drifting slowly through the water column, probably close to the sea bottom where they could easily snatch an unwary trilobite or crustacean.

	Nautiloid (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The marine rocks of the Jurassic period in the United Kingdom often yield specimens of Cenoceras, and nautiloids such as Eutrephoceras are also found in the Pierre Shale formation of the Cretaceous period in the midwestern part of the United States.
		Specimens of the Ordovician nautiloid Endoceras have been recorded measuring up to 3.5 meters (13 feet) in length.
		These large nautiloids must have been formidable predators of other marine animals at the time they lived.

		The Ordovician deposits of this region or any other, have yielded no proven record of either land animals or plants.
		The invertebrates continued to dominate the marine waters, the most common groups being the brachiopods, the now extinct graptolites, bryozoa, true corals, crinoids and the cephalopod, Endoceras.
		The most notable advance in the life of this period is seen in the occurrence of very primitive fishes.

		This fragment of the endoceroid Endoceras annulatum ("en-doss-ur-us an-you-latt-um") came from 470 million-year-old tropical sea limestones at Watertown, New York.
		Although armed with the tentacles and sharp beaks of squids, endoceroids were slow- moving.
		Endoceras, New York's top Ordovician predator, was "slow and dumb" compared to modern squids.
