Opis:
Evolutionary lineages within the Carboniferous ammonoid superfamily Goniatitaceae can be recognized using cladistic and stratophenetic analyses, showing that both approaches lead to coinciding results. In the late Viséan and Namurian A, ammonoid provinces can be defined by the distribution of lineages within the goniatite superfamily Goniatitaceae. The first province corresponds to the Subvariscan Realm (where the superfamily became extinct near the Viséan-Namurian boundary), and the second embraces the majority of the occurrences, e.g. the south urals, central Asia, and North America (where the superfamily with different independent lieages continued up into the late Namurian A). In the Viséan, the superfamily was, in two short epochs, globally distributed with major transgressions, which probably led to migration events. The first is at the end of the late Viséan A (G. fimbriatus and G. spirifer Zones, when the genus Goniatites had a world-wide distribution with various species), and the second at the beginning of the late Viséan C (L. poststriatum Zone, when Lusitanoceras is globally distributed).
Przy zastosowaniu metod analizy kladystycznej i stratofenetycznej rozpoznano linie ewolucyjne w obrębie karbońskiej nadrodziny goniatyrtów Goniatitaceae. Obie metody dały podobne rezultaty. W późnym wizenie i w namurze A prowincje goniatytowe mogą być zdefiniowane na podstawie rozmieszczenia poszczególnych linii Goniatitaceae. Pierwsza prowincja odpowiada obszarowi subwaryscyjskiemu, gdzie goniatyty tej nadrodziny wymarły w pobliżu granicy wizen-namur. Druga prowincja obejmuje resztę obszarów występowania nadrodziny, a więc np. południowy Ural, środkową Azję i Amerykę Północną, gdzie Goniatitaceae przetrwały do Namuru A. Goniatitaceae miały światowe rozprzesrzenienie podczas dwóch krótkich epok wielkich transgresji w wizenie, które ułatwiały migracje. Pierwsza z tych epok odpowiada późnemu wizenowi A, kiedy rodzaj Goniatites (Zony G. fimbriatus i G. spirifer) miał światowe rozprzestrzenienie. Druga epoka przypadła na początek późnego wizenu C, kiedy to światowe rozprzestrzenienie miał rodzaj Lustinoceras (Zona L. poststriatum).

Opis:
In ammonoids, a soft body organ (possibly a supracephalicmantle fold), extending from the conch aperture secreted aragonitic wrinkles, forming a layer on the surface of the preceding whorl. The dorsal shell wall consists of the outer and inner components which were deposited sequentially, beginning at the aperture of the living chamber inwards. The dorsal wall attains its full thickness near the last septum. The outer component is visible in the apertural region and is smooth or wrinkled; it is called the wrinkled layer in the latter case. The wrinkles may be continuous, interrupted, or form isolated patches arranged in rows. The wrinkles are usually triangular in cross section. A further stage of dorsal wall development involves filling in the space between the apices of triangles, and then adding one or more inner prismatic layers from the inside of the living chamber. This pattern occurs at least in the postembryonic stage of all genera studied, belonging to five suborders of Ammonoidea ranging from Late Carboniferousto Late Cretaceous. In many genera, the outer component of the dorsal shell wall exhibits remarkable ontogenetic change in its ultrastructure and microornament. It may be compared with the black film of Recent Nautilus shells with respect to place of formation. The outer component of the ammonoid dorsal shell wall is regarded as a product of organic secretion and carbonate precipitation in the area of the supracephalic mantle fold.
U planispiralnie skręconych amonoidów, u których ścianka grzbietowa styka się bezpośrednio ze ścianką poprzedniego skrętu, mamy do czynienia z modyfikacją strukturalną ścianki grzbietowej w obszarze styku obu ścianek. Wymienione modyfikacje dotyczą w głównej mierze zewnętrznego składnika ścianki grzbietowej tzw. wrinkle-layer, położonego bezpośrednio na peryostrakum poprzedniego skrętu. Strefa zmarszczek (wrinkle-layer) znana była początkowo jedynie u amonoidów paleozoicznych, dopiero Senior (1971) i Kulicki (1979) odnotowali jej występowanie u amonoidów mezozoicznych. Na podstawie przebadanego materiału obejmującego 12 rodzajów należących do pięciu podrzędów Ammonoidea i występujących od późnego paleozoiku do późnej kredy nie stwierdzono występowania strefy zmarszczek poza ścianką grzbietową. Podobne suuktury, obserwowane u paleozoicznych amonoidów w ściankach bocznej i brzusznej nosza nazwę „Ritzstreifen” i nie są homologiczne do zmarszczek „wrinkle-layer”. Typowa zmarszczka „wrinkle-layer” w przekroju podłuznym zbudowana jest z elementu centralnego, organicznego lub organo-mineralnego, oraz pryzmatycznych warstewek, w których długie osie pryzm są prostopadłe do boków trójkąta skierowanych do wnętrza komory mieszkalnej. Obok typowych elementów strefy zmarszczek, opisano tzw. elementy dwurożne o zarysie okrągłym, lub owalnym u triasowych rodzajów Subolenekites i Sibirites, a także u wczesnokredowego Aconeceras. Te elementy były błędnie interpretowane (Doguzhaeva & Mutvei 1986) jako pory związane z przyczepami miękkich tkanek płaszcza do muszli. Typowa strefa zmarszczek wytwarzana przez fałd nadgłowowy płaszcza, została stwierdzona we wszystkich badanych podrzędach za wyjątkiem Phylloceratina. W wymienionym rzędzie opisano powszechnie występujące rytmiczne modyfikacje peryostrakum wbudowywane do ścianki grzbietowej. We wczesnych stadiach rozwojowych modyfikacje te mogą przypominać elementy strefy zmarszczek, lecz ich pochodzenie i budowa są różne.

Opis:
The dominant factor in faunal succession of conodonts in the Frasnian of Poland is the apparent immigration of species originating allopatrically in other regions. Each immigration event usually changes the population variability of a local species (character displacement). Only a few lineages show their phyletic evolution within the studied area. Attempts to distinguish conodont species on the basis of platform element shape failed in some of the latest Frasnian palmatolepidids. Even at the apparatus−based generic level, certain ramiform elements of the apparatus appear much more diagnostic than the platforms. Correlative value of the late Frasnian palmatolepidids of unknown apparatus structure is thus questionable. The evolution of platform elements in Ancyrodella offers a more solid basis for age determination although their great population variability makes resolution rather low and requires the population approach.

Opis:
The mid-Late Devonian pelagic sedimentary successions of the Rhenish Mountains and other regions show a double black shale horizon called the annulata Black Shale. It marks, at the species level, a prominent faunal turnover of ammonoids from the Prolobites delphinus Zone into the Platyclymenia annulata Zone. An analysis of ammonoid genera distribution, phylogenetic relationships, andmorphospace occupation demonstrates that the "annulata Event" does not correspond to a crisis of the group and does not fulfill the criteria of a major biotic event.

Opis:
Evolution of the coiled ammonoid conch from the uncoiled bactritid conch was probably coupled with changes in manoeuvrability and swimming velocity. The gradual transformation of uncoiled to coiled ammonoid conchs has essential functional consequences. The radical change in conch geometry during phylogeny but also in ontogeny of early ammonoids implies a shift of the aperture from an original roughly downward, via a downward oblique and an upward oblique to an upward orientation, presuming a neutrally buoyant condition of the ammonoid animal. Similar trends were reconstructed for the three main ammonoid lineages in the Middle Devonian, the agoniatitid, the anarcestid, and the tornoceratid lineages. This allowed an increase in manoeuvrability and in the maximum horizontal swimming speed.

Opis:
Organic membranes preserved in the rear part of the body chamber of the Late Cretaceous phylloceratid ammonite Phyllopachyceras ezoense were examined with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) on the basis of well−preserved specimens from Hokkaido, Japan. SEM observations revealed that the membranes are continuous with the siphuncular tube wall in the phragmocone and consist of two layers, both of which are made of a dark, primarily conchiolin material; namely, a thinner inner homogeneous layer and a thicker outer layer with gently inclined pillar−like units. Hence, they are interpreted as the precursory siphuncular membranes. The precursory siphuncular membranes are not associated with any other organic components such as the siphuncular sheets reported in some Paleozoic and Mesozoic ammonoids. Unlike the tube−like condition in the phragmocone, the precursory siphuncular membranes in the body chamber of the specimens examined do not form a tube shape; on the ventral side the membranes are truncated and directly contact the outer shell wall. These observations suggest that the inner and outer layers of the precursory siphuncular membranes in the body chamber were respectively formed by the siphuncular epithelium from the inner side and by the invaginated septal epithelium from the outer side. It is also postulated that at the initial stage of septal formation, the rear part of the body moved slowly forward, developing a circumsiphonal invagination of the septal epithelium. Because similar conchiolin membranes are occasionally preserved in the body chambers of other phylloceratids, the above morphogenetic process applies to all members of the Phylloceratina. The tube−shaped structure in the rear part of the body chamber of desmoceratid Damesites consists only of nacreous layer. We interpret it as a pathologically overgrown prochoanitic septal neck.

Opis:
The taphonomy of the Upper Cretaceous ammonite Anagaudryceras limatum differs from associated ammonites in the same horizon. This differential taphonomy is reconstructed based on fragmentation patterns and structural property of the corrugated shells of their body chamber parts. The characteristic preservation of isolated body chamber parts with corrugations is commonly observed in A. limatum from the upper Turonian of the Oyubari area, central Hokkaido, Japan. This preservation probably results from the differential internal structural properties of the hollow body chamber and septated phragmocone as well as the peculiar corrugation on body chamber of the present species: (1) fracturing along the corrugations against bending force is easier than flat material, because of the concentration of force on the tops or bottoms of corrugations, and (2) high durability against compressive forces. The separated body chamber parts were resistant to being squashed and broke into pieces due to the durability of corrugations against compressive force. The statistic test on the fossil assemblage suggests that selective destruction did not affect the fidelity of species composition and relative abundance of the studied fossil assemblage. Molluscan death assemblages in marine systems consistently show strong fidelity to relative abundances in the live community, suggesting that there was an Anagaudryceras−dominant ammonoid community during the late Turonian in the Oyubari area.

Opis:
This paper reports on the evolution of ammonoids belonging to the family Tornoceratidae from the Devonian of Janczyce in the Holy Cross Mountains, Poland. Steady and gradual changes in conch morphology of the goniatite lineage Phoenixites frechi–Tornoceras subacutum–T. sublentiforme occurred in concert with water shallowing during the deposition of the Lower Famennian cephalopod limestone. Biometric analysis of ammonoid conch and facies analysis of the cephalopod limestones have been applied to assess the possible relationship between shell geometry and environmental changes. Results show that ratios of whorl width / diameter as well as whorl width / whorl height decreased, while distance from the venter to the greatest whorl width / diameter increased with time, thereby reducing hydrodynamic drag of the shells, probably in response to increasing water turbulence. The interpretation presented here is in agreement with similar cases from the literature. However, this kind of environmentally controlled evolution has hitherto been recognized only in Jurassic and Cretaceous ammonoids. Conch morphology may be considered as an indicator of palaeobathymetry.

Opis:
Internal moulds of the relatively small− to moderate−size shells of Early Devonian ectocochleate cephalopods (typically <150 mm diameter) occasionally display traces of repaired shell damage. Presumably, these animals with their highly specialized buoyancy device, the phragmocone, lived in the water column. It is uncertain as to how the shells of these animals were damaged; one likely cause would be predatory attacks but the identity of the perpetrator remains uncertain. So far, no remains of arthropods capable of breaking or cutting shells have been found in the fossiliferous outcrops of this age in the Anti−Atlas (Morocco). The only macrovertebrate remains of this age are of acanthodian and placoderm fish which probably lived a more or less benthonic life style. Additionally, a fish attack on these cephalopods would probably have destroyed most of the thin−shelled conch and killed the animal. Most of the repaired shell breaks are triangular in shape which is characteristic for cephalopod bite marks. Additionally, the paired arrangement of the fractures in over 70 bactritoids supports the hypothesis that it was a cephalopod attacking another cephalopod. It cannot be excluded with certainty that occasional vertebrate attacks left traces on their shells. Fossil evidence indicates that the development of tightly coiled conchs was a rapid evolutionary event in the Ammonoidea in the Early Devonian; however, the evolution of coiling is probably not directly related to predation pressures because the ratio of injured to healthy specimens is roughly the same in Zlíchovian bactritoids with orthoconic and ammonoids with coiled shells.

Opis:
A new preservation of aptychi is described from the Valanginian limestone−marl alternations of the Vergol section (Drôme), located in the Vocontian Basin (SE France). Aptychi are arranged into two parallel rows which are generally 50 mm in length and separated by 4 mm. The alignments are very often made by entire aptychi (around 10 mm in length), oriented following their harmonic margin. Aptychi show the outside of valve to the viewer: they are convex−up. This fossilization of aptychi is successively interpreted as the result of post−mortem transport by bottom currents (taphonomicresedimentation process) or the residues (bromalites: fossilized regurgitation, gastric and intestinal contents, excrement) from the digestive tract of an ammonoid−eater (biological processes). Both the parallel rows of aptychi are more likely interpreted as a coprolite (fossil faeces) and they could be considered as both halves (hemi−cylindrical in shape) of the same cylindrical coprolite which would have been separated in two parts (following the long axis) just after the animal defecated. Considering this hypothesis, a discussion is proposed on the hypothetical ammonoid−eater responsible for them.

Opis:
New ammonites collected bed−by−bed from the upper part of Ataxioceras hypselocyclum Chronozone deposits in the eastern Iberian Chain are described as Geyericeras gen. nov. The new genus includes microand macroconchiate Ataxioceratinae of small size, with moderate to loose coiling and subpolyplocoid ribs, a character crucial for its identification. Key points for the comparative identification of Geyericeras gen. nov. are: (i) microconchiate Geyericerasshow morphological convergence with evolute specimens of the stratigraphically older genus Schneidia [m]; (ii) contemporary Ataxioceratinae genera such as Ardescia [m, M] and Lithacosphinctes [m, M] did not develop subpolyplocoid ribbing; (iii) smoothing of sculpture combined with short primary ribs are not realized in Geyericeras gen. nov. [M] and can be therefore used to separate the new genus from Ataxioceras[M]; and (iv) smaller shells, and weaker and less dense ribbing with no parabolic structures differentiate Geyericeras gen. nov. [m, M] from Parataxioceras[m, M], as well as the type of subpolyplocoid ribs seen among microconchiate specimens of these two genera. The new species Geyericeras aragoniense sp. nov. is the index and guide fossil for identification of a biohorizon occurring below the first occurrence of the genus Crussoliceras in the eastern Iberian Chain.

Opis:
Ammonites are of outstanding importance in dating events of the Mesozoic and in the study of mechanisms, modes and timing of evolutionary processes. These applications rely on a detailed understanding of their morphology and the modes of variation. It has been known for a long time that their shape is composed of a number of highly correlated features. A new model, called the ADA−model, is introduced for the study of shell morphology (size and shape). The new model is based on classic dimensions which are stable parameters throughout ontogeny, giving very close agreement between pre− dictions and actual observations. It was applied in the exploration of the morphospace occupied by the planispirally coiled and the regularly uncoiled Mesozoic Ammonoidea, based on two new reduced morphospaces introduced for the analysis. Results obtained expose close relationships between size and shape, and general patterns in the ammonite shell morphol− ogy and morphogenesis. (i) The relative apertural height of the whorl section relative to the diameter of the shell (H₂/D) is involved in definition of size and shape. (ii) This same dimension shows a strong tendency to be H₂/D = 0.3. (iii) There are some geometrically possible shell shapes (or morphotypes) which seem to have not been developed since they are not known in the current record. Assuming the known ranges of protoconch size and whorl number as constraints, the ADA−model strongly suggests that these morphotypes have not been developed for the too large or too small sizes the shells would have attained, well outside of the actual size range of the planispirally coiled Ammonoidea. (iv) The law of covariation is shown to be a general pattern within the planispiral ammonites which describes structured variation of the shell shape. (v) A large fraction of the non−structured variation seems originate in the lack of correlation between the rela− tive umbilical diameter and width of the whorl section.

Opis:
Raised shell projections on the inner shell walls that form pits on the internal moulds of Devonian ammonoids have been known for several decades. New specimens from Morocco reveal novel details of these structures; most, if not all, of which consist of a capsule of ammonoid shell that covers tiny tubes attached to the outer (= lateral or ventral) shell wall from the inside. In accordance with comparable Recent occurrences of similar structures in molluscs, we use the term “pearls” for these structures and the pits they form on the internal moulds. The nature of these encapsulated tubes is described and discussed. Because of the presence of these tubes inside the pearls, pearl arrangement, and their similarity to Recent mollusc occurrences, the tubes are interpreted as traces of parasitoses. The pearls and pits were grouped into five types based on differences in morphology, size, and arrangement. Then, having used these traits to perform a simple cladistic analysis, the resulting cladogram was compared to the phylogeny of ammonoids. Based on this comparison, it appears likely that the parasites underwent a co−evolution with the ammonoids, which lasted 10 to 15 Ma. Patterns of evolutionary events include co−speciation, “drowning on arrival” (end of parasite lineage near base of a new host clade), and “missing the boat” (parasite lineage does not adapt to a new host clade, thus not evolving a new parasite clade). Because of the lack of fossilised soft tissue, only speculations can be made about the systematic affiliation of the parasites, their life−cycle, infection strategy, and ecological framework. Some co−occurring bivalves also have pits reminiscent to structures caused by trematodes in Recent forms. Based on the available information, the tubes are interpreted as artefacts of trematode infestations, which, if correct, would extend the fossil record of parasitic trematodes into the Early Devonian.

Opis:
The present paper focuses on the evolutionary dynamics of ammonites from sections along the Russian Pacific coast during the midand Late Cretaceous. Changes in ammonite diversity (i.e., disappearance [extinction or emigration], appearance [origination or immigration], and total number of species present) constitute the basis for the identification of the main bio−events. The regional diversity curve reflects all global mass extinctions, faunal turnovers, and radiations. In the case of the Pacific coastal regions, such bio−events (which are comparatively easily recognised and have been described in detail), rather than first or last appearance datums of index species, should be used for global correlation. This is because of the high degree of endemism and provinciality of Cretaceous macrofaunas from the Pacific region in general and of ammonites in particular.
