  2. Siphuncle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siphuncle

    In most fossil nautiluses, the siphuncle runs more or less through the center of each chamber, but in ammonites and belemnites it usually runs along the ventral edge of the shell. In some fossil straight shelled nautiloids, cylindrical calcareous growths ("siphuncular deposits") around the siphuncle can be seen towards the apex of the shell.

  3. Turtle shell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turtle_shell

    The turtle shell is a shield for the ventral and dorsal parts of turtles (the order Testudines), completely enclosing all the vital organs of the turtle and in some cases even the head. [1] It is constructed of modified bony elements such as the ribs, parts of the pelvis and other bones found in most reptiles.

  4. Syringonautilidae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syringonautilidae

    The suture includes a ventral saddle and broad lateral lobes. In some, there is a secondary ventral lobe. The siphuncle is subcentral. Juvavionautilus comes from Europe and Timur. Oxynautilus, [5] differs from the rest in that it has an involute, compressed lenticular shell with a narrow or acute (angular) venter which may or may not have a ...

  5. Centroceratidae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centroceratidae

    The suture is with ventral and dorsal lobes, the siphuncle very close to the venter. Carlloceras has a moderately involute shell with a compressed trapezoidal whorl section, nearly flat ventral and lateral areas, and slight dorsal impression. The suture has a ventral saddle and broad lateral lobe and the siphuncle is small and near the venter.

  6. Grypoceratidae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grypoceratidae

    Gryponautilus from the Upper Triassic is broadly involute with a narrowly rounded, keel-like venter at maturity and shallow ventral and lateral lobes in the suture. All members of the Grypoceratidae have a ventral lobe with the exception of Stenoporceras, Parastenopoceras, and Virgaloceras, which have a ventral saddle instead. The derivation of ...

    Crocodilian form of crurotarsal ankle. The astragalus (pink) is fixed to the tibia (green) by a suture. Adapted with permission from Palaeos. In the type of crurotarsal ankle, which is found in crocodilians and some other archosaurs, the astragalus is fixed to the tibia by a suture, and the joint bends around a peg on the astragalus, which fits into a socket in the calcaneum.

  8. Ammonoidea - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonoidea

    The external or ventral region refers to sutures along the lower (outer) edge of the shell, where the left and right suture lines meet. The external (or ventral) saddle, when present, lies directly on the lower midline of the shell. As a result, it is often called the median saddle. On suture diagrams the median saddle is supplied with an arrow ...

  9. Insect morphology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insect_morphology

    The outer wall of the coxa is often marked by a suture extending from the base to the anterior trochanteral articulation. In some insects, the coxal suture falls in line with the pleural suture. In such cases, the coxa appears to be divided into two parts corresponding to the episternum and epimeron of the pleuron.
