These surprising cephalopods adapted or struggled through to virtually every environment in the ocean and can now be discovered in fossil horizons around the world. Nearly 20,000 ammonoid species have been discovered in sedimentary layers from Alabama to Zanzibar, with fossil beds and new genera identified frequently. During its 350-million-year swim through deep time, the ammonoid's conch changed so rapidly that geologists can date a rock outcrop according to the species of ammonoid found in that strata of stone. This book will be illustrated with detailed photographs highlighting the beauty and diversity of this extraordinary cephalopod. As we explore the animal's adventures through Late Paleozoic and Mesozoic history, chapter appropriate locations highlight the ammonoid's proliferation, diversity, and extinction against the backdrop of Earth history.\" Provided by publisher.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Columbia University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55471629435223,"sku":"9780231213929","price":48.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/somiibooks.com\/products\/we-dig-ammonites-jodi-summers-9780231213929","provider":"Somiibooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
