They were used, with other fossils, to corroborate the principle of faunal succession and launch the field of biostratigraphy. Despite intense research, many important questions remain unanswered. Furthermore, outdated hypotheses persist. Many new findings include a better understanding of their appearance in life, their locomotion, and their role in long-gone ecosystems. And, of course, there are still controversies; e.g. why did shell complexity increase during evolutionary history. This richly illustrated book describes the full range of ammonoids and their fascinating evolutionary history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDocuments the early history of paleontology and the role played by ammonoids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDescribes the basic anatomy of a diverse and long-persisting lineage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSummarizes the classification and diversity of ammonoids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLavishly illustrated with beautiful reconstruc\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmmon’s Horns and Serpent Stones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnatomy, Growth, and Geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpirals and Squiggles: The Math of Ammonites\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe First Cephalopod: A Snail Who Dared to Fly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColonizing The Wild Blue Beyond: The First Ammonoids in the Age of Fish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSurvivors: Prolecanitids, Ceratitids, and the Origin of Ammonites\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJurassic Seapark\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Cretaceous Period: The Golden Autumn of Ammonites\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAncyloceratina: The Heteromorphs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtinction of the Ammonoids: What Humans Can Learn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlossary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48866301215063,"sku":"9781032264363","price":61.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781032264363.jpg?v=1722278021","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/evolution-of-the-ammonoids-9781032264363","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
