Kosmoceras is an ammonite with a simple aperture and irregular ribbing interrupted by an irregular row of lateral tubercles. Strong ventral tubercles are separated by a smooth depression running along the rim. Kosmoceras belongs to the Stephanoceratoidea and is the type genus for the family Kosmoceratidae and for the subfamily Kosmoceratinae.

Ammonites use their ink to help their prey get away. When they feel threatened, they can shoot large amounts of ink into the water using their siphon. Scientists believe that by pumping air through the inside chambers of the shell, the air-pump-like siphuncle helped create buoyancy and transport ammonites through the water. Ammonites and nautiluses, on the other hand, have thick exterior shells that protect them from predators. The Nostoceras can shoot itself into the black ink clouds, ramming towards the predators.

Nautiluses and ammonites are shy toward humans and unique among other cephalopods, though, because they have hard outer shells that help protect them from predators. This is the only known ammonite that was very curious about enemies, including humans, because of their higher IQ.
