Using 3D computed tomography to measure intraspecific variation in ammonoids

Researchers have for the first time used computed tomography to estimate variability in ammonoids. This could lead to better interpretations of past small scale studies using limited specimens, as well as set a much needed baseline for future tomography studies.
