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 Furthermore, outdated hypotheses persist.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\n\u003cp\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\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 reconstructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighlights recent findings and outstanding controversies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRelated Titles\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePonder, W.
