The marine life of Ohio included crinoids, snails, cephalopods, brachiopods, and fishes. Trilobites were also present, but their fossils are rare. [4] By the Permian period the sea had left completely. Local bodies of water were then lakes and rivers rather than saltwater. [3] Southeastern Ohio was a swamp-covered coastal plain. [4]
Some cephalopods accompany this expulsion of water with a gunshot-like popping noise, thought to function to frighten away potential predators. [72] Cephalopods employ a similar method of propulsion despite their increasing size (as they grow) changing the dynamics of the water in which they find themselves.
The cephalopods were once thought to have evolved from a monoplacophoran-like ancestor [8] with a curved, tapering shell, [9] and to be closely related to the gastropods (snails). [10]
Ohio may only be a tiny blip on the map for some of them, like the blackpoll warbler — these tiny creatures fly nearly 2,000 miles every spring, from Argentina to Canada.
Interpretations by Engeser (1996–1998) suggests that nautiloids, and indeed cephalopods in general, should be split into two main clades: Palcephalopoda (including all the nautiloids except Orthocerida and Ascocerida) and Neocephalopoda (the rest of the cephalopods). Palcephalopoda is meant to correspond to groups which are closer to living ...
