Douvilleiceras<\/b> is a genus of ammonites from the Middle to Late Cretaceous<\/b>. Its fossils have been found worldwide, in Africa, Asia, Europe, and North and South America.
Fossils of Douvilleiceras are found in the Cretaceous of Angola, Brazil, Canada, Colombia (Capotes Formation, Cundinamarca), the Dominican Republic, Egypt, France, Iran, Japan, Madagascar, Mexico, Peru, South Africa, Switzerland, the former USSR, the United Kingdom, Alaska and Texas. Douvilleiceras inaequinodum fossils have been found in Albian strata of France.<\/p>\n

Scientific classification:<\/b>
Kingdom:Animalia
Phylum:Mollusca
Class:Cephalopoda
Subclass:Ammonoidea
Order:Ammonitida
Suborder:Ancyloceratina
Family:Douvilleiceratidae
Genus:Douvilleiceras<\/p>\n

Cretaceous, Albian stage
Mahajanga, Madagascar<\/p>\n

Ammonites<\/b> are a group of extinct molluscs which somewhat resembled a shelled squid when they were alive.
These ancient sea creatures had tentacles like the modern octopus, and spiral shells like Nautilus creatures.<\/p>\n

They first appeared on the fossil record 240 million years ago, in the Triassic Period, and died out 65 million years ago with the dinosaurs during the Cretaceous-Tertiary Mass Extinction Event.
The fossilised remains of these sea creatures are perhaps the most popular fossils on the market today.<\/p>\n
