Oecotraustes Waagen, 1869 |
Oecotraustes is an extinct cephalopod genus included in the ammonid family Oppeliidae and named by Wilhelm Waagen in 1869. Species in the genus lived during the Middle Jurassic. [1]
The shell of Oecotraustes is evolute, the outer whorl only moderately embracing the inner whorls, laterally compressed whorl height greater than width. Outer flanks and venter ribbed, ribs sinuous.[ citation needed]
Fossils of Oecotraustes species have been found in Jurassic sediments of Germany, India, Madagascar, Spain, and the United States. [2]
