Cameral Membranes in Carboniferous and Permian Goniatites: Description and Relationship to Pseudosutures

  • Chapter
Cephalopods Present and Past: New Insights and Fresh Perspectives

During the last century, cameral membranes have been reported in many different ammonoids (Grandjean, 1910; Schoulga-Nesterenko, 1926; Hólder, 1952, 1954; Schindewolf, 1968; Erben and Reid, 1971; Westermann, 1971; Bayer, 1977; Kulicki, 1979; Weitschat and Bandel, 1991; Tanabe and Landman, 1996). Cameral membranes include two main varieties: chamber linings coating the inside surfaces of each chamber, and three-dimensional structures suspended within the chambers (Landman et al., 2006).
