[edit] Cameroceras vs "Cameraceras"
This article was recently moved to Cameraceras (spelled with an a), on the grounds that the spelling "Cameroceras" (with an o) was a typo. But all the scientific literature clearly spells it "Cameroceras". As fair as I can see, there are only a couple of popular books that spell it "Cameraceras". Unless someone objects in the next few days, I'll move it back to the spelling "Cameroceras". Cephal-odd 22:40, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move
Cameraceras → Cameroceras — The correct spelling of the genus is "Cameroceras". This is the spelling that appears in scientific literature. Probably the article was previously moved to "Cameraceras" because that incorrect spelling appears in a popular book. The Cameraceras article now cites the references. Currently the correct spelling redirects to the incorrect one. Cephal-odd 02:46, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vague
"The partial shell of one giant Cameroceras yielded a total length estimated at the time at nearly 30 feet. (This estimate has since been revised downward quite a bit.) "
