Biologic characteristic
The inoceramus has a thick husk with the pearlescence by "prism" of the calcite [2]. The inoceramus is known how many a kind becoming considerably large is, but thinks that the paleontologist let you make gills big to be able to live in the water of the lack of oxygen state that I eutrophicated [2].
Distribution
The inoceramus was distributed over the whole world over (approximately 189,600,000 years - approximately 66,040,000 years) in the Cretaceous from the Jurassic [3]. Many kinds are reported from the Pierre shale which is the sediment of the western part inland sea route which there was in the North America. Canada Vancouver Island [2], Greenland, Spain, France, Germany, Japan, the production in Alaska are known in other areas. A large-scale kind (I.(Sphenoceramus) steenstrupi) to become 187cm is reported in Greenland in particular (cf. gallery).
