Trachyscaphites are characterized by their unique shell shape, which is tightly coiled in the inner part and then uncoils into a hook shape. They are known for their ornamentation, which can include ribs, bumps, and projections. The suture lines, which are the lines where the internal chambers of the shell connect, have five lobes that can be divided into halves or thirds.

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.

Germany, Austria, France, Poland, and Russia have all reported finding Trachyscaphites pulcherrimus in upper Campanian rocks. A few examples have recently been discovered in the Taylor Marl of Texas and near the summit of the Wenonah Formation in New Jersey.
