Ammonoid Functional Morphology

Ammonoid Functional Morphology is a subdiscipline of paleontological morphology that investigates the relationship between the physical structure of ammonoid shells and their biological functions, such as buoyancy control, hydrodynamic efficiency, and locomotion, to infer the ecological and evolutionary adaptations of these extinct cephalopods.
