The use of landmarks and geometrical morphometric techniques is illustrated with examples from the Harpoceratinae (Ammonitina). This approach is useful in analysing morphological variations of characters such as rib pattern or ventral shape on the scale of the genus or species. It can be used to map forms so that similarities and dissimilarities between organisms can be read and quantified directly.
