Ammonoid evolution in marine ecosystems prior to the Permian-Triassic crisis

Paleontological Journal volume 43, Article number: 858 (2009) Cite this article

Abstract

Evolutionary trends in ammonoid communities in the Middle and Late Permian are analyzed in connection with the changes in their taxonomic, morphological, geographical, and ecological structure. It is shown that the processes that led to the almost complete disappearance of the subclass began long before the global Permian-Triassic crisis.
