| Note |
Taxonomic Remark: By the superficial resemblance of the fossilized siphon of Actinoceras bigsbyi, an ammonite, with the chitinous operculum of the serpulid Pomatostegus actinoceras Mörch, 1863, the genus Actinoceras figured for a long time in Polychaete catalogues. [details] | |||||||||||||||||||
