results from last saturday's Paleostream I didnt have enough time to post it on the weekend so here i am posting them on monday

I had the pleasure to work on a bunch of little ammonite portraits some time ago for a new paper that was just published.

Before you ask: no we don't know if their soft tissue looked like this. We know every little about the soft bits of these animals. However if you take into account the myriad of different shell shapes and the diversity of modern cephalopods you will see that there is so much more possible than what you usually see.

These are all from the same region and a handful of localities, and yet you can see how diverse they could get, and we didn't even touch the really crazy ones here.

Here the paper: https://riviste.unimi.it/index.php/RIPS/article/view/19942
