Trocholitidae

id: trocholitidae-313-18511769
title: Trocholitidae
text: The Trocholitidae are Tarphycerida with whorls in close contact as with the Tarphyceratidae, but in which the siphuncle, similar in structure, becomes dorsal. The Trocholitidae are derived from the Tarphyceratidae, perhaps from different tarphyceratids. Members of the Trocholitidae vary in whorl section and siphuncle position. Most are tightly coiled with the dorsum impressed to some degree. As exceptions Arkoceras and Wichitoceras have their whorls touching but without a dorsal impression. Disc
