Proteoceratidae is an extinct family of actively mobile aquatic carnivorous cephalopods belonging to the subclass Orthoceratoidea endemic to what would be Asia, Australia , Europe, South America and North America during the Ordovician living from 490—445.6 Ma, existing for approximately 44.4 million years.[1]
Taxonomy
Proteoceratidae was named by Flower (1962). Its type is Proteoceras. It was assigned to Michelinoceratida by Flower (1962); to Pseudorthocerataceae by Teichert et al. (1964), Sweet (1964) and Evans (1994); to Pseudorthocerida by Kröger and Isakar (2006); and to Orthocerida by Kröger et al. (2007).[2][3][4] [5] [6]
