Computational Paleontology Welcome to my Computational Paleontology homepage! This page is devoted to the use of mathematical models, simulation, computer graphics and computers in general in paleontology: Simulation of ontogeny (growth and form) Simulation of evolution and population genetics Population dynamics Simulation in functional morphology (mechanics, fluid dynamics etc.) Computer ...

BODY POSITION AND THE FUNCTIONAL MORPHOLOGY OF CRETACEOUS HETEROMORPH AMMONITES Neale Monks and Jeremy R. Young ABSTRACT Previous analyses of ammonite functional morphology have assumed that the animal filled the entire body chamber, and that movement of the animal (such as withdrawal of the head and arms into the shell) had little effect on orientation. An alternative anatomy is proposed here: ...
