Ammonites are an extinct and charismatic lineage that persisted for over 300 million years. 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 Furthermore, outdated hypotheses persist.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.Key Features:Documents the early history of paleontology and the role played by ammonoidsDescribes the basic anatomy of a diverse and long-persisting lineageSummarizes the classification and diversity of ammonoidsLavishly illustrated with beautiful reconstructionsHighlights recent findings and outstanding controversiesRelated TitlesPonder, W.
