Ammonite jaw apparatuses from the Sinemurian (Lower Jurassic) of Dorset and their taphonomic relevance

Journal of the Geological Society | January 1, 2000| | Copyright

The lower jaws (anaptychi) of arietitid and eoderoceratid ammonites are preserved and three examples of upper jaws are recorded in the species Asteroceras stellate. Although usually accepted as being entirely of organic composition, the anaptychi of A. stellate have an outer calcareous layer.
