Hayward

(2003)
. They also have raised sutures on the spiral side. An umbilical plug may be developed in adult specimens, which otherwise is a characteristic feature of
Ammonia parkinsoniana
. The specimens from São Vincente have a much lower number of chambers in the last whorl with 6–8 as compared to
A. parkinsoniana
that usually has 10 chambers.
