The zone is 170 m thick, and ammonoids and other fossils occur as imprints in mudstones and as shell-rich layers in sandy turbidites.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The diversity of theammonoidassemblage in this zone has increased to five genera and about 15 species.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Quite detailed correlations are not possible yet, but one can clearly see a westward diachronism in the first occurrence of someammonoidgenera.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Abundant concretions at several levels contain well-preserved ammonoids, bivalves and occasional fish.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Moreover, in the study of a highly diversified group such as the ammonoids, we believe that making too many generalizations can be risky.
From theCambridge English Corpus
This zone is widely distributed, 20-150 m thick, and contains the most diverseammonoidassemblage with seven genera.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The number ofammonoidgenera is greatly reduced to four, combined with a gradual shallowing-upward trend in the succession.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Brachiopods, cephalopods (ammonoids and one nautiloid) and bivalves are rare.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Plasticity of developmental timing as the underlying cause of high speciation rates in ammonoids.
From theCambridge English Corpus
However, the preservation of the collected material is too poor and the total number of ammonoids from single beds is too scarce to allow such a revision to be undertaken.
From theCambridge English Corpus
They are an extinct group ofammonoid, which are shelled cephalopods related to squids, belemnites, octopuses, and cuttlefish, and more distantly to the nautiloids.

In the seas, a novel major group ofammonoidcephalopods called clymeniids appeared, underwent tremendous diversification and spread worldwide, then just as suddenly went extinct.
