Diagnosis / Definition:
Ifrim et al. (2004):
Description. Shell discoidal and very involute with intermediate expansion rate. The umbilicus is narrow (U/D is approximately 0·07) and has a steep umbilical wall. Flanks are almost subparallel with their maximum breadth above the middle flank. The venter is widely arched. Lirae straight and slightly prorsiradiate on the flanks but slightly retracted ventrolaterally. They are faint in the dorsolateral area. Suture with cornplex incisions and slightly phylloid saddle terminations; the trifid lateral lobe is expanded and surrounded by tetraphylloid saddles. The sutural lobe is slightly retracted.
Discussion / Comments:
Ifrim et al. (2004):
Remarks: Both parallel (e.g. Stinnesbeck 1986) and convergent (e.g. Iones 1963) flanks have been described previously for this species. Thirteen of our tests are crushed, but specimens that are well preserved show little variation in test shape, and all of them have parallel flanks. Hypophylloceras (Neophylloceras) hetonaiense is similar to H. (N) ramosum but differs by having less flexuous lirae. It differs from H. (N) cottreaui (discussed below) owing to its much narrower umbilicus. Occurrence: Hypophylloceras (Neophylloceras) hetonaiense (Matsumoto) is known from the Campanian-Maastrichtian of Japan (Matsumoto 1942), California (Matsumoto 1959b), Antarctica (Spath 1953) and Alaska (Jones 1963), and the Upper Maastrichtian of Chile (Stinnesbeck 1986). Hypophylloceras (Neophylloceras) hetonaiense seems to be a cold water species.
