Mixosiphonata
Mixosiphonata is an extinct order of nautiloids that lived from the Carboniferous to the Early Cretaceous. It currently includes the genera Boggyoceras, Zhuravlevia, and possibly Ctenobactrites.[1] They were the latest surviving orthoconic nautiloids, which had otherwise gone extinct in the Late Triassic.[2]
