About Nipponites
Nipponites is an extinct genus of heteromorph ammonites. The species of Nipponites are famous for the way their shells form "ox-bow" bends, resulting in some of the most bizarre shapes ever seen among ammonites. The ecology of Nipponites, as with many other nostoceratids, is subject to much speculation.
