A cone-shaped structure or form found in fossil cephalopods that is curved or bent rather than straight.
From Greek 'kyrtos' (curved) and 'keras' (horn) plus 'cone.' A paleontological term describing curved horn-like fossil structures.
Ancient cephalopods that made these curved cone shells were early experiments in evolution—their curved shapes gave better water flow than straight competitors.
