Peltoceras marysae is an evolute species and its ornamentation changes a lot along its growth. The inner whorls show fine, dense simple ribs, which then become a bit stronger and sometimes fork. Then appears a bituberculated stage with very strong tubercles. The ornamentation becomes softer on the body chamber.
