What is "puzosia"

Puzosia (Bhimaites) is a desmoceratid ammonite with a subinvolute, mostly smooth, high whorled shell with convex or flat sides and frequent constrictions on the venter. It is included in the subfamily Puzosiinae and has been found in Upper Albian and Cenomanian sediments in Angola, South Africa, and southern India.

Puzosia is a genus of desmoceratid ammonites, and the type genus for the Puzosiinae, which lived during the middle part of the Cretaceous, from early Albian to upper Santonian (130.0 to 70.6 Ma). The generic name comes from the Serbian words "Puž" (snail) and "oce/ose" (axis), gaining its name from the shell's snail-like appearance.
