Douvilleiceras mammilatum had a involute (tightly coiled) shell. It had simple and strong ribs that pass over a rounded venter (the outer edge of the ammonite). These ribs would have been divided into numerous even-sized tubercles, which would have had long spines.

This ammonite would have been a poor swimmer due to the presence of these ribs which would have brought about considerable resistance in the water. Because of this resistance, Douvilleiceras was probably a scavenger on the sea bed.

This specimen is a gorgeous polished agatized ammonite.
