Embryonic shell is cup-like, early shell is less curved than adult shell (after Manda &amp; Turek 2009).<\/li>\n<li>The vast majority of Silurian Oonoceratidae from Bohemia possess shell with compressed cross-section as is seen in <em>Euryizocerina<\/em>. <em>Cyrtoceras obesum <\/em> Barrande, 1866 has a slightly curved exogastric shell with a circular cross section. The length of the body-chamber is approximately equal to, or slightly greater than the shell height at the aperture. Shell morphology is similar to that of the type species of <em> Euryrizoceras<\/em> Foerste, 1930 from the middle Silurian of Illnois (Sweet 1964). Barrande (1866, 1877) described this long-ranging species from the early Wenlock, <em> Monograptus belophorus<\/em> Zone (St. Iwan, pl. 521, refigured here in Fig. 6), early Ludlow, Gorstian, <em> Colonograptus colonus <\/em> Zone (Butowitz el, pl. 114), late Ludlow, Ludfordian, <em> Monograptus fragmentalis <\/em> Zone (Kozorz, pl. 508) and probably late Pridoli (Novy Mlyn, pl. 114). <em> Euryizoceras obesum strongly resembles <em> Euryrizocerina<\/em> and <em>Euryrizoceras <\/em> are not considered to be closely related. It seems likely that there are many convergences in shell form in the Oncocerida. Muscle scars may be useful in recognition of such convergences. <\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology, Part K, Vol. 3 (1964)<\/em>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Exogastric, ventromyarian brevicones and cyrtocones with empty siphuncles on ventral side of center.
