Heterochrony in Ammonites

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Topics in Geobiology ((TGBI,volume 7))

Abstract

Ammonites are externally shelled cephalopods and range in geologic age from the Devonian to the Late Cretaceous. They comprise nine orders that may be informally grouped into the paleo-, meso-, and neoammonoidea. The paleoammonoidea consists of the Devonian-Permian goniatites, anarcestids, clymeniids, and prolecanitids. The mesoammonoidea or ceratites range from the Permian to the Triassic. The neoammonoidea consists of the phylloceratids, lytoceratids, ammonitids, and ancyloceratids and ranges from the Jurassic to the Cretaceous.
