Ammonoid Sutures

Ammonoid Sutures is a morphological construct in cephalopod paleontology consisting of the geometrically complex, chamber-defining lines formed by the intersection of septa with the internal mold of an ammonoid shell, distinguished from other cephalopod sutures by their elaborate, fractally branching patterns that reflect phylogenetic, ontogenetic, and paleoecological signals.
