Preface

Cephalopods are diverse, highly developed molluscs capable of swimming and jet propulsion. These are an important component of present-day marine ecosys- tems throughout the world and comprise approximately 900 species. They also have an extraordinary record, extending back to the Period, with as many as 10,000 extinct species. Throughout their long history, they have experienced spec- tacular radiations and near-total . Because of their superb fossil record, they also serve as ideal index to subdivide geologic time. This book touches on many of these themes, and it treats both fossil and present-day cephalopods. The chapters are outgrowths of presentations at the Sixth International Symposium “Cephalopods – Present and Past,” at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, September 16–19, 2004. The Symposium was organized principally by Walter L. Manger of the Department of Geology, University of Arkansas. The editors gratefully acknowledge Walter for his terrific job in putting together this symposium and for making it such an intellectual, and social, success. Other publications related to this Symposium include the abstract volume, assembled by W. L. Manger, and two field- trip guidebooks, one written by W. L. Manger, and the other by R. H. Mapes. Because this symposium was held in , it honored four workers from this continent: William A. Cobban (US Geological Survey, Denver, Colorado), Brian F. Glenister (University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa), William M. Furnish (University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa), and Gerd E. G. Westermann (McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario). These four workers are giants in their fields, and through their research on the biology, systematics, and of fossil cephalopods, they have enormously expanded our understanding of these animals and the history of planet Earth. This volume is dedicated to them – in recognition of their phenomenal accomplishments. This volume contains 20 chapters covering a wide range of topics about both fossil and present-day cephalopods. We have grouped these chapters into three sections, although we recognize that many of the subjects overlap:

● Phylogeny and Systematics (Chapters 1–7) ● Morphology of Soft and Hard Tissues (Chapters 8–14) ● Biogeography, Biostratigraphy, Ecology, and Taphonomy (Chapters 15–20)

v vi Preface

Within each section, ammonoids are treated first, followed by coleoids, in order of geologic time. Every chapter was examined by at least two outside reviewers, and their suggestions and other comments, together with those of the editors, were forwarded to the authors. The reviewers made many helpful suggestions; this resulted in substantially improving the quality of the manuscripts. In addition, authors were encouraged to follow General Recommendation 10 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, which suggests that the author and date of every taxon in a publication be cited at least once in that publication. The editors extend their sincere thanks to the following people who reviewed the manuscripts: Emily G. Allen (Bryn Mawr College, Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania), Roland Anderson (Seattle Aquarium, Seattle, Washington), R.
