Correlation of mid-Palaeozoic ammonoid evolutionary events with global sedimentary perturbations

Michael R. House

Department of Geology, University of Hull, Hull HU6 7RX, UK

Eight ammonoid extinction events occurring within 30 million years seem to be correlated with sedimentary changes in global sea level and temperature. These evolutionary patterns may be regarded as a bioseismograph reflecting events causing environmental change.
