"An order of extinct ammonoids (a type of mollusk). This soft-bodied animal was protected by a single, spiral shell. It ate with a file-like radula that had 7 "teeth," it had ten arms, and it breathed through gills. The offspring were tiny, floating with currents and being a component of plankton. Goniatitic mollusks lived from the Devonian to Permian period. Goniatitida were named by paleontologist Hyatt in 1884. Classification: Class Cephalopoda, Subclass Neocephalopoda, Infraclass Ammonoidea, Order Goniatitida." (enchantedlearning.com)
