Abstract

Here we study the variation of the Paleozoic to Mesozoic ammonoid whorl profile shape (WPS, in previous contributions referred as the whorl cross-section shape) employing a geometric morphometric approach, virtual modelling, and statistical tools to assess possible biological phenomena. For this approach, a dataset covering 300 individuals (each belonging to a different genus) was generated from revised specimens and published literature data. From this dataset, we proposed several predictors (e
