On the Study of Words This fact is the more important, as in this part of America we have never seen ammonites. Personal Narrative of Travels to the Equinoctial Regions of America, During the Year 1799-1804 — Volume 1 Up to a certain point they amused her; she could talk of ammonites, of brachiopods, and would point a friend's attention to the Calceola sandalina which Martin prized so much. Born in Exile The day of the ammonite and the belemnite also now drew to a close, and only a few of these cephalopods were left to survive the period. The Elements of Geology Shell mollusks, in hundreds of new species, occupied the bottoms of the seas of those ages, while of the swimming shell-fish, ammonites and belemnites, there were also many scores of varieties. Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation But in the intervals between such catastrophes, strata may have accumulated slowly in the sea of the Lias, some being formed chiefly of one description of shell, such as ammonites, others of gryphites. The Student's Elements of Geology Ethel was not sorry that such were Aubrey's views of courtesy, but all thought of that subject was soon lost in the pursuit of ammonites. The Trial At Solutre have been found belemnites, ammonites, and Miocene shells, which were certainly never native to that district, with pieces of rock-crystal from the Alps, and beads made of a jadeite of unknown origin. Manners and Monuments of Prehistoric Peoples The ammonite stem branched into a most luxuriant variety of forms. The Elements of Geology As far as I can judge, your views seem very probable; but what a fearfully intricate subject is this of the succession of ammonites. More Letters of Charles Darwin — Volume 1 About fifty species of mollusca occur in this formation, among which are some ammonites of large size. The Student's Elements of Geology The reception of Mab and the ammonites was but an earnest of similar ungracious acts on the one hand, and aggressions on the other, often unintentional. The Trial Were the beautiful volute and cone shells of the Eocene epoch, and the gracefully sculptured ammonites of the Secondary period, created that man might ages afterwards admire them in his cabinet? The Origin of Species by means of Natural Selection, 6th Edition At the end of the Mesozoic the entire tribe of ammonites became extinct. The Elements of Geology As a final phase in the history of the ammonites, there appear many so-called "abnormal" genera, in which the shell is irregularly coiled, or more or less uncoiled, in some forms becoming actually straight. Darwin and Modern Science But as impressions of plants are rare in these shales, which contain ammonites, oysters, and other marine shells, with skeletons of fish and saurians, the bitumen may perhaps be of animal origin. The Student's Elements of Geology We have seen the ammonites and reptiles, and even the birds and mammals, evolve into hundreds of species during the Jurassic period. The Story of Evolution In some cases, however, the extermination of whole groups, as of ammonites, towards the close of the secondary period, has been wonderfully sudden. The Origin of Species by means of Natural Selection, 6th Edition Forerunners of the great ammonite family of cephalopod mollusks now appear. The Elements of Geology As in the case of the ammonites, the problem is to arrange this great multitude of forms in an orderly array that shall express the ramifications of the group according to a genetic system. Darwin and Modern Science In the lower division of the Speeton clay, 200 feet thick, 46 species of mollusca have been found, and three divisions, each characterised by its peculiar ammonite, have been noticed by Mr. Judd. The Student's Elements of Geology The nearest living ally of the ammonites is the pearly nautilus, the other existing cephalopods, such as the squids, cuttle-fish, octopus, etc., are much more distantly related. Darwin and Modern Science Like the nautilus, the ammonites all possess a coiled and chambered shell, but their especial characteristic is the complexity of the "sutures." Darwin and Modern Science The descent of the ammonites, taken as a group, is simple and clear; they arose as a branch of the nautiloids in the lower Devonian, the shells known as goniatites having zigzag, angulated sutures.
