16
Q

what is plainspiral coiling

A

shell coiled in a single plane

17
Q

what is the umbilicus

A

diameter of depression between the inside margins of the coil

18
Q

what is AMMONOID morphology

A

evolute coiling
some have a keel (ridge along the middle for balance)
septal neck points away from protoconch

19
Q

what is NAUTLOID mode of life

A

nektonic - lived in water column

20
Q

what is the siphuncle

A

tube passing through septal neck which interconnects chambers
controls gas and water level to control BOUYANCY

21
Q

NEKTONIC ammonoid/nautiloid (LATERAL MOEVEMNT) mode of life

A

lateral movement
tentavles used to swim in water column
jet propulsion where water is expelled from the ‘funnel’ to push ammonoid (usssually backward but can be aimed)

22
Q

NECKTONIC ammonoid/nautilus (vertical)

A

empty chambers have mixture of gas and water
(gas is N rich)
levels adjust to make creature float upward/downward

23
Q

HUNTER killer cephalopod

A

evidence suggests they were predators

24
Q

spetal necks point towards or away from protoconch AMMONITE

A

away from protoconch

25
Q

septal neck points towards or away from protoconch in NAUTILUS

A

towards protoconch

26
Q

is siphuncle central in nautilus

A

yes

27
Q

is siphuncle central in ammonoid

A

no, close to outer edge

28
Q

simple to complex sutre lines

A

nautilus (simple)
gonatitic
ceratitic
amonitic (complex frilly)

29
Q

which had v complex sutre line

A

ammonoid

30
Q

which had simple sutre

A

nautilus

31
Q

which was more complex sutre ceratitic or goniatitic

A

ceratitic

32
Q

which was second most complex sutre

A

ceratitic

33
Q

which was second most simple sutre

A

goniatitic

34
Q

goniatite range

A

Devonian - permian

35
Q

ceratite range

A

Triassic - jurassic

36
Q

ammonite range

A

Jurassic - cretaceous

37
Q

nautiloid range

A

Cambrian - present

38
Q

how did they all evolve from nautilus

A

nautlius eveolved in Cambrian, evolved into goniatite -. ceratite and ammonite.
