Geisonoceras has a widespread distribution covering North America, Europe and Asia. A. K. Miller and W.M Furnish described Geisonocerina among a suite of 12 nautiloid genera from the Ordovician of the Black Hills, South Dakota. In Europe, Geisonocerina elongatocintum was identified from a 1973 borehole drilled in the Wenlock area of the Welsh borderland to provide a continuous core from the Llanocery-Wenclock boundary.
