geronikippoceras
Geronikippoceras is a genus of extinct cephalopods that lived during the Late Cretaceous period, approximately 99 to 94 million years ago. It is known from fossils found in Europe, particularly in the Solnhofen limestone deposits of Germany. The genus is characterized by its distinctive shell, which is typically conical in shape with a smooth surface and a slight constriction near the apex. The shell is often preserved in a well-preserved state, revealing intricate details of the internal structure and growth lines.
Geronikippoceras is classified within the family Ptychoceratidae, which includes other extinct cephalopods with similar shell morphologies.
