Annuloceras is a heteromorph ammonite similar in form to other heteroceratids except that the early helix is more loosely wound. Macroscaphites differs in that the early portion is planispiral and tightly wound. Contemporary Shastoceras, found the same strata in California, differs in lacking a coiled juvenile section.
