    An early Silurian (Aeronian) cephalopod fauna from Kopet-Dagh, north-eastern Iran: including the earliest records of non-orthocerid cephalopods from the Silurian of Northern Gondwana DAVID H. EVANS, MANSOUREH GHOBADI POUR, LEONID E. POPOV & HADI JAHANGIR The cephalopod fauna from the Aeronian Qarebil Limestone of north-eastern Iran comprises the first comprehensive re- cord of early Silurian cephalopods from peri-Gondwana. Although consisting of relatively few taxa, the assemblage in- cludes members of the orders Oncocerida, Discosorida, Barrandeocerida and Orthocerida. Coeval records of several of these taxa are from low palaeolatitude locations that include Laurentia, Siberia, Baltica and Avalonia, and are otherwise unknown from peri-Gondwana until later in the Silurian. The cephalopod assemblage occurs in cephalopod limestones that currently represent the oldest record of such limestones in the Silurian of the peri-Gondwana margin. The appear- ance of these cephalopods, together with the development of cephalopod limestones may be attributed to the relatively low latitudinal position of central Iran and Kopet-Dagh compared with that of the west Mediterranean sector during the Aeronian. This, combined with the continued post-glacial warming after the Hirnantian glaciation, facilitated the initia- tion of carbonate deposition and conditions suitable for the development of the cephalopod limestones whilst permitting the migration of cephalopod taxa, many of which were previously restricted to lower latitudes. • Key words: Llandovery, Aeronian, Cephalopoda, palaebiogeography, peri-Gondwana.

Main morphological innovations in the evolution of nautiloid cephalopods; the formation of endosiphuncular and cameral deposits, shell coiling, truncation of the phragmocone’s apical end, and contracted aperture, which originated to make the relative shell positioning in the water more efficient. Changes in the lobe line structure and various types of complications in the primary lobes (ventral, umbonal, and lateral) were the most important morphological innovations in convolute ammonoids. The functional significance of these changes remains unclear, but recognition of equally significant changes in primary lobes requires a review of the Paleozoic Ammonoidea taxonomy at the suborder level. This paper is a continuation of a study whose first lation of the buoyancy process and to support in various results have been published (Barskov et al., 1993).

Studied material was collected from the Hirnantian?–Llandovery strata of the Eusebio Ayala and Vargas Peña formations, Paraná Basin, southeastern Paraguay. The specimens are poorly preserved and were questionably assigned to the sub- family Probillingsitinae Flower, 1941, being undetermined at genus and species rank because diagnostic characters are not visible. A particular feature seen in our material is the presence of both parts of the ascocerid conch (the juve- nile or cyrtocone and the mature or brevicone) joined together, which is a very rare condition in the known paleonto- logical record. The specimens are interpreted as at a subadult stage of development because fully grown ascocerids would have lost the juvenile shell.

  • Cephalopod Reproductive Strategies Derived from Embryonic Shell Size
    Biol. Rev. (2017), pp. 000–000. 1 doi: 10.1111/brv.12341 Cephalopod embryonic shells as a tool to reconstruct reproductive strategies in extinct taxa Vladimir Laptikhovsky1,∗, Svetlana Nikolaeva2,3,4 and Mikhail Rogov5 1Fisheries Division, Cefas, Lowestoft, NR33 0HT, U.K. 2Department of Earth Sciences Natural History Museum, London, SW7 5BD, U.K. 3Laboratory of Molluscs Borissiak Paleontological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, 117997, Russia 4Laboratory of Stratigraphy of Oil and Gas Bearing Reservoirs Kazan Federal University, Kazan, 420000, Russia 5Department of Stratigraphy Geological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, 119017, Russia ABSTRACT An exhaustive study of existing data on the relationship between egg size and maximum size of embryonic shells in 42 species of extant cephalopods demonstrated that these values are approximately equal regardless of taxonomy and shell morphology. Egg size is also approximately equal to mantle length of hatchlings in 45 cephalopod species with rudimentary shells. Paired data on the size of the initial chamber versus embryonic shell in 235 species of Ammonoidea, 46 Bactritida, 13 Nautilida, 22 Orthocerida, 8 Tarphycerida, 4 Oncocerida, 1 Belemnoidea, 4 Sepiida and 1 Spirulida demonstrated that, although there is a positive relationship between these parameters in some taxa, initial chamber size cannot be used to predict egg size in extinct cephalopods; the size of the embryonic shell may be more appropriate for this task. The evolution of reproductive strategies in cephalopods in the geological past was marked by an increasing significance of small-egged taxa, as is also seen in simultaneously evolving fish taxa. Key words: embryonic shell, initial chamber, hatchling, egg size, Cephalopoda, Ammonoidea, reproductive strategy, Nautilida, Coleoidea.

  • High-Level Classification of the Nautiloid Cephalopods: a Proposal for the Revision of the Treatise Part K
    Swiss Journal of Palaeontology (2019) 138:65–85 https://doi.org/10.1007/s13358-019-00186-4 (0123456789().,-volV)(0123456789().,- volV) REGULAR RESEARCH ARTICLE High-level classification of the nautiloid cephalopods: a proposal for the revision of the Treatise Part K 1 2 Andy H. King • David H. Evans Received: 4 November 2018 / Accepted: 13 February 2019 / Published online: 14 March 2019 Ó Akademie der Naturwissenschaften Schweiz (SCNAT) 2019 Abstract High-level classification of the nautiloid cephalopods has been largely neglected since the publication of the Russian and American treatises in the early 1960s. Although there is broad general agreement amongst specialists regarding the status of nautiloid orders, there is no real consensus or consistent approach regarding higher ranks and an array of superorders utilising various morphological features has been proposed. With work now commencing on the revision of the Treatise Part K, there is an urgent need for a methodical and standardised approach to the high-level classification of the nautiloids. The scheme proposed here utilizes the form of muscle attachment scars as a diagnostic feature at subclass level; other features (including siphuncular structures and cameral deposits) are employed at ordinal level. We recognise five sub- classes of nautiloid cephalopods (Plectronoceratia, Multiceratia, Tarphyceratia nov., Orthoceratia, Nautilia) and 18 orders including the Order Rioceratida nov. which contains the new family Bactroceratidae. This scheme has the advantage of relative simplicity (it avoids the use of superorders) and presents a balanced approach which reflects the considerable morphological diversity and phylogenetic longevity of the nautiloids in comparison with the ammonoid and coleoid cephalopods.
