Ascocerida is an order of extinct nautiloid cephalopods. The shell, slightly exogastrical, is morphologically very reduced.
The Ordovician period is the second of the six (seven in North America) periods[1] of the Paleozoic era, and covers the time roughly between 490 to 440 million years ago. It follows the Cambrian period and is followed by the Silurian period.

The Silurian is a major division of the geologic timescale that extends from the end of the Ordovician period, about 443.7 ± 1.5 Ma (million years ago), to the beginning of the Devonian period, about 416.0 ± 2.8 Ma (ICS 2004).
