Advancing Research on Living and Fossil Cephalopods

Relying on late-1990s analytical techniques, this reference offers comprehensive coverage of the development, evolution, and morphology of both fossil and living cephalopods. In 34 in-depth chapters a group of 51 international neontologists and peleontologists offer and overview of methods, data, analyses, interpretations, and suggestions for future research. With its combination of contributions on living and fossil cephalopods, this book provides researchers and advanced students in paleontology, invertebrate zoology, evolutionary biology, and allied disciplines with a trove of data and authoritative interpretations that should benefit their own studies.
