The siphuncle is central, tubular, and empty; septal necks short, orthochaonitic; connecting rings cylindrical or only faintly expanded. Chambers contain prominent lamelar mural and episeptal deposits.[1]

Trematoceras has been found in Upper Triassic sediments in Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, and the Russian Federation.[2]
