Crises in Ammonoid Evolution

  • Chapter
Ammonoid Paleobiology

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

Abstract

During the Devonian, Carboniferous, and Permian periods, several severe changes occurred in the configuration of the tectonic plates, resulting in major changes in the areas of oceans and epicontinental seaways. The relatively rapid rate at which ammonoids evolved allows detailed information on changes in the environmental conditions and geological events that influenced the habitats of these animals (House, 1985a,b, 1989; Kullmann, 1983, 1985).
