Cephalopods present and past : new insights and fresh perspectives / edited by Neil H. Landman, Richard Arnold Davis, Royal H. Mapes.

This book brings together an international group of scientists focusing on present-day and fossil cephalopods, ranging broadly from Paleozoic ammonoids to today's octopods. It has three general sections dealing with: systematics and evolution; descriptions of hard- and soft part morphology; and...
