Ammonoid Embryonic Development

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Topics in Geobiology ((TGBI,volume 13))

Abstract

Ammonoids retain a record of growth in their shells, and, therefore, material is readily available for studies of early ontogeny. Such studies were performed first in the mid-19th century and have been pursued with vigor ever since. Using optical and scanning electron microscopy, ammonoid workers have described the morphology of the early whorls and have attempted to reconstruct the sequence of early ontogenetic development and to identify the embryonic shell.
