Sweet and Miller, 1957

Parryoceras is a cyrtogomphoceratid similar to Strandoceras but with broadly expanded siphuncle segments and a nearly straight ventral line. The mature shell is thickened on the inside just behind the aperture resulting in a constriction in the internal mold at the adoral end.

Parryoceras comes from the middle and upper Ordovician of arctic Canada and Norway.
