ammonoid

Furnish and Glenister (1970) described the Permian ammonoid Cyclolobus from the Salt Range.

Through the climatic changes, conodont and ammonoid faunae were initially able to recover very quickly during the Early Triassic as unusually short-lived species emerged.

The minimum test was used by Jablonski (1987, 1994) to test Cope's Rule among Cretaceous molluscs and by Boyajian and Lutz (1992) to analyze the evolution of sutural complexity in ammonoid cephalopods.

The third important pelagic group, the ammonoids, are not yet well studied near the Guadalupian-Lopingian boundary.

A contribution to the knowledge of Upper Devonian ammonoids from the Holy Cross Mts.

Based on the scarce ammonoids found in the middle part of the formation, Dubar and Mouterde (1957) and Suarez-Vega (1974) specify a late Kimmeridgian age (Eudoxus zone), and Ramirez del Pozo (1969) assigns an early Portlandian age to the upper part of the Lastres Fm.

The limestone contains bryozoans brachiopods bivalves gastropods ammonoids trilobites crinoids and conodonts (Kummel and Teichert1970).

The floors in this shopping center contain more than 500 ammonoids, providing a useful study collection for local schools and universities.

It was his work in the Canadian Arctic Islands, beginning in 1954, that laid the foundation for his subsequent brilliant career as a paleontologist and biostratigrapher specializing in the now-extinct class of coiled, marine molluscs known as ammonoids.

The high diversity of one fossil group, the ammonoids, has fueled efforts to understand the functional morphology of their phragmocones.

Ammonoids secreted a coiled, chambered shell as they grew, and septa separating the chambers are visible externally in many fossil specimens as curvy lines or sutures [ILLUSTRATION FOR FIGURE 6 OMITTED].

However, in Mesozoic ammonoids a combination of pronounced sculpture and colour bands is relatively common (Mapes & Davis 1996).

The presence of Lower Cretaceous ammonoids in the Maestrat Basin (E Spain) has been known since the second half of the nineteenth century (e.

The primary decorative stone, ~80% by surface area, is a light beige limestone that contains abundant ammonoids and belemnoids (Figure 1).

Of particular interest among our discoveries were several hundred specimens of cephalopod ammonoids, including many that had never been found anywhere in the world before.
