Rodzaj Prionoceras

Gatunek typowy
Goniatites divisus Münster, 1832 from Schübelhammer in Franconia.

Opis

Diagnosis. — Minute more or less globose conch with closed umbilicus at all stages; internal shell thickenings correspond to external constrictions, expressed mostly on the conch flanks and are regularly distributed, usually three per whorl. 

Remarks. — Korn (1988, 1994) proposed to separate advanced members of the Prionoceras branch into his genus Mimimitoceras, basing distinctions on slight differences in the shape of aperture and the course of constrictions. Perhaps subgeneric rank would be more appropriate for this taxon.
