Dactylioceras commune has shells reaching a diameter of 9–11 centimetres (3.5–4.3 in).
Usually the average diameter reach about 24.1 millimetres (0.95 in), while the average width is 8.20 millimetres (0.323 in).

In these small but strong shells ribs run straight or are slightly convex across the venter.
These ribs are quite coarse on the outer whorls and finer on the inner whorls.
The whorl section is as round as a circle.

Fossils of this species have been found in Lower Jurassic, Toarcian age of Canada, France, Italy, Russia, Serbia and Montenegro, United Kingdom and United States.
