Remarks
From Cleland (1907, pp. 462-463): “Shell very, large, straight, extremely gibbous … Between the last septum and the apex the shell rapidly enlarges becoming ventricose, and then more gradually narrows to near the apertue, where it flanges out.” Originally described as Gomphoceras wisconsinense by Cleland in 1907.
