Abstract

Building upon previous research, this study examines potential relationships between septal thickness in Devonian ammonoids from the Anti-Atlas of Morocco and isotopic proxy data from the literature for atmospheric CO2, sea surface temperature, oceanic pH, and weathering (δ18O, δ13C, δ11B, 87Sr/86Sr). Recent studies have demonstrated that various mollusc groups show some growth sensitive to environmental factors. Our results indicate no significant correlation between septal thickness and the examined proxies, except for significantly thinner septa in the genus Phoenixites following the environmental perturbations during the Kellwasser Event, which included anoxic conditions and possibly ocean acidification. This supports the hypothesis that a positive selection for reduced shell material occurred in response to changing seawater chemistry. Additionally, our results align with published data and may support a correlation between septal thickness and palaeolatitude. This study contributes to our understanding of the evolutionary impacts of environmental stressors such as ocean acidification on ammonoids and their adaptive strategies to changing environmental conditions.
