Barrandeocerina

Extinct suborder of molluscs

The Barrandeocerina comprise a suborder of Early Paleozoic nautiloid cephalopods, primitively coiled but later forms may be cyrtoconic, gyroconic, torticonic, and even breviconic, all having empty siphuncles with thin connecting rings. The Barrandeocerina were originally defined as a separate order by Rousseau Flower, but since then have been united within the Tarphycerida as a suborder. Derivation is from the Tarphyceratidae.
