The radula is a molluscan feeding device that was also present in ammonoids. It consists of a ribbon with regularly arranged chitinous teeth disposed in transversal rows located between the upper and lower jaws. This chapter describes the radula in twelve ammonoid genera. The radula is composed of seven teeth per row: the rachidian tooth, two lateral teeth on each side of the rachidian tooth, and the marginal teeth on the external part of the ribbon. Marginal plates are only present in a few taxa. Compared to Recent cephalopods, the radula of ammonoids is similar in morphology and number of elements to that of coleoids. The radula in the Goniatitina is unicuspidate and shows little variation so far, while the radula in the Ammonitina and Ancyloceratina is more variable and consists of multicuspidate rachidian and lateral teeth and elongate marginal teeth.
