Cenoceras is an extinct genus of nautiloids, marine mollusks closely related to modern-day nautiluses. These creatures were characterized by their smooth, coiled shells, which served as both protection and a buoyancy device. The internal chambers of the shell allowed the nautilus to control its buoyancy and navigate the prehistoric oceans.

Jurassic Information

The Jurassic Period (201–145 million years ago) was the golden age of dinosaurs, with iconic species like Brachiosaurus, Stegosaurus, and Allosaurus dominating the land. It was a time of warm, humid climates, with high sea levels that created vast shallow seas, supporting abundant marine reptiles, ammonites, and early coral reefs. The first birds, such as Archaeopteryx, evolved from small theropod dinosaurs, while early mammals remained small and nocturnal. Lush forests of cycads, conifers, and ferns covered the land, providing food for giant herbivores. The breakup of the supercontinent Pangaea accelerated, shaping Earth's geography and setting the stage for the diverse ecosystems of the Cretaceous.
