Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Semiannuloceras is an extinct genus of actively mobile carnivorous cephalapod of the family Baltoceratidae that lived in what would be Europe during the Ordovician from 490-460 mya, existing for approximately 6 million years. Semiannuloceras was named by Evans (2005). Its type is Semiannuloceras abbeyense. It was assigned to Baltoceratidae by Evans (2005). The shell is usually long, and may be straight ("orthoconic") or gently curved. In life, these animals may have been similar to the modern squid, except for the long shell.
