Table 7 States of four abiotic factors correlated with age midpoint (average of ages of the beginning and the end of the corresponding stages after international chronostratigraphic chart from stratigraphy.org) and septal slope factor of ontogenetic trajectory of septal thickness through the Mesozoic. Palaeoenvironmental data are from Berner (2006): CO2, Demicco et al. (2005): Mg/Ca ratio, [Ca2+] (mol mol−1), and Ridgwell (2005): Sea surface pH

From: Is the relative thickness of ammonoid septa influenced by ocean acidification, phylogenetic relationships and palaeogeographic position?
