This two-volume work is a testament to the abiding interest and
human fascination with ammonites. We offer a new model to explain
the morphogenesis of septa and the shell, we explore their habitats
by the content of stable isotopes in their shells, we discuss the
origin and later evolution of this important clade, and we deliver
hypotheses on its demise. The Ammonoidea produced a great number of
species that can be used in biostratigraphy and possibly, this is
the macrofossil group, which has been used the most for that
purpose. Nevertheless, many aspects of their anatomy, mode of life,
development or paleobiogeographic distribution are still poorly
known. Themes treated are biostratigraphy, paleoecology,
paleoenvironment, paleobiogeography, evolution, phylogeny, and
ontogeny. Advances such as an explosion of new information about
ammonites, new technologies such as isotopic analysis, tomography
and virtual paleontology in general, as well as continuous
discovery of new fossil finds have given us the opportunity to
present a comprehensive and timely "state of the art" compilation.
Moreover, it also points the way for future studies to further
enhance our understanding of this endlessly fascinating group of
organisms.
