Koenen, 1904

Uhligia, named by Koenen, 1904, has the general form characteristic of heteromorph ancyloceratids. The early part is more or less straight, then sharply bent, followed by a second straight shaft and a final hook. Ribs are fine, weak, and irregular, lacking tubercles; slanted in the early part, straight in the later. Uhligia differs from genera like Ancyloceras and Aspinoceras in lacking the open coil in the early stage.
