Belemnites are an extinct group of Mesozoic coleoid cephalopods with a fossil record
ranging from the early Late Triassic [about 240 million years ago (Mya)] to the Cretaceous …

Extant cephalopod soft tissues are commonly infested by various lineages of parasites
making it plausible that extinct cephalopods also had a variety of parasites. Direct evidence …

A new forma type of palaeopathy, Forma malaspina (growth of additional double spines
instead of the regular pairing with no exogenous injury) in Peltoceras schroederi Prieser [M] …

Here, we report on different types of shell pathologies of the enigmatic deep-sea
(mesopelagic) cephalopod Spirula spirula. For the first time, we apply non-invasive imaging …

Previously, palaeopathological features of fossil hardparts were often difficult to interpret
because it was impossible to decipher their internal structure without destroying the …

The term pathology refers to growth anomalies of single individuals of a population (or in the
fossil record of an assemblage) that are caused by exogenic, eg, injuries due to predator …

Many aspects of the paleobiology and biomineralization of belemnites, the most common
fossil coleoid cephalopods of the Mesozoic, are still unclear. Here, we describe a pearl from …
