Measurement data for septal spacing and conch morphology in Cretaceous ammonoids
<p>We analyzed the ontogenetic trajectories of conch morphology and septal spacing between successive chambers in Cretaceous ammonoids (suborders Perisphinctina and Ancyloceratina) collected from southern India, Madagascar, and Japan. All examined species, except for the family Collignoniceratidae, exhibited similar characteristics during early ontogeny. The common ontogenetic trajectories of septal spacing show a cycle comprising an increase and a subsequent decrease in septal spacing during early ontogeny. The conch diameters at the end of the cycle were estimated to be 1–4 mm. The conch shape (aperture height and whorl expansion rate) covariably changed at this conch diameter. Such covariable changes are commonly recognized in the suborders Perisphinctina and Ancyloceratina. The similarity in the ontogenetic trajectories of conch morphology implies a closer phylogenetic relationship between these suborders compared to Lytoceratina or Phylloceratina.</p>

Data from: The middle Smithian (Early Triassic) ammonoid Arctoceras blomstrandi: Conch morphology and ornamentation in relation to stratigraphy
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">The ammonoid genus <i>Arctoceras</i> (Hyatt, 1900) occurs across all palaeolatitudes, and is a key genus for middle Smithian (Early Triassic) biostratigraphic correlations at a global scale. In this study, intraspecific variations in conch morphology, ornamentation and allometry are examined in relation to stratigraphic position. <i>Arctoceras </i>is the most abundant ammonoid genus in the middle Smithian of Svalbard, Arctic Norway. Originally, seven <i>Arctoceras </i>species were described from Svalbard, but their practical use in fossil identification was questionable. Later, as the importance of intraspecific variation was recognized, six of the <i>Arctoceras</i> species from Svalbard were declared junior synonyms of <i>Arctoceras blomstrandi </i>(Lindström, 1865). Yet, the variations in <i>A. blomstrandi </i>conch morphology remain poorly quantified and the dependence on stratigraphic position unknown. Our research quantifies the intraspecific variation in conch morphology, ornamentation and allometry in relation to stratigraphy of the Svalbard <i>Arctoceras</i>. The results support the assignment of all <i>Arctoceras</i> morphotypes from Svalbard to a single species <i>A. blomstrandi</i>. The new data allow for an updated species description and opens for the use in biostratigraphy of the endmember morphology <i>A. blomstrandi </i>var<i> costatus</i>. We document consistent changes in both conch morphology and ornamentation in the studied stratigraphic interval with a distinct shift towards more evolute and ornate conchs in the top. The trends seen in the strength of ornamentation are partly explained by a covariation with the conch morphology, as wider and more evolute conchs tend to be more ornate (Buckman's law of covariation). The middle Smithian was characterized by a thermal maximum and low δ<sup>13</sup>C<sub>org</sub> values which shifted towards less negative values in the late Smithian and culminated in a positive carbon isotope excursion at the Smithian–Spathian boundary. The most marked shift in the conch morphology and allometric development of <i>A. blomstrandi</i> coincides with the onset of the positive carbon isotope excursion at the end of the middle Smithian, but predates the mid late Smithian cooling of the sea surface.</p>
Data from: Intraspecific variation in cephalopod conchs changes during ontogeny: perspectives from three-dimensional morphometry of Nautilus pompilius
Intraspecific variation of organisms is of great importance to correctly carry out taxonomic work, which is a prerequisite for important disciplines in paleontology such as community paleoecology, biostratigraphy, and biogeography. However, intraspecific variation is rarely studied in ectocochleate cephalopods (ammonoids and nautiloids), in which an excessive number of taxa were established during the past centuries. Since intraspecific variation of fossilized organisms suffers from various biases (time averaging and taphonomy), an extant example is needed for actualistic comparison. We applied 3D morphometry to 93 specimens of Nautilus pompilius from three different geographic populations. This dataset was used to examine the intraspecific variation throughout ontogeny in detail. Although there are slight differences between the populations as well as some measurement biases, a common pattern of intraspecific variation appears to be present. High variation appears early in ontogeny and then decreases gradually in the following ontogenetic stages. Subsequently, the variation shows an increase again before maturity until a sharp increase or decrease occurs towards the end of ontogeny. Comparison with intraspecific variation of ammonoids and belemnites illustrated that some groups have ontogenetic patterns of intraspecific variation, which are similar to that of N. pompilius. This implies that the above-mentioned ontogenetic pattern of intraspecific variation might be common in some major cephalopod clades.
