'''''Mantelliceras''''' is an extinct ammonoid cephalopod genus belonging to the family Acanthoceratidae and type for the subfamily Mantelliceratinae,<ref>[https://www.biolib.cz/en/taxonposition/id134193/ Biolib]</ref> that lived from the Late Albian to the late Cenomanian stage of the Late Cretaceous.<ref name=fe/>
==Description== ''Mantelliceras'' is characterized by a strongly ribbed, moderately involute shell with a moderately wide umbilicus, and rounded whorl section. The final whorl leaves inner whorls partly exposed. High standing ribs cross over the venter smoothly. Primary ribs arise from the umbilical wall. Secondaries, usually one per intervening space, arise higher on the flanks. Species of ''Mantelliceras'' are known to reach a diameter of about 13 centimeters.{{citation needed|date=August 2014}}
==Distribution== Species of ''Mantelliceras''' have been found in Cretaceous sediments in Angola, France, Germany, Japan, Mexico, Russia, Spain, the United Kingdom, and United States.<ref name=fe/>
