<http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#comment> "Measured: 0.939 fraction of qualifying ammonoid series in which at least one conch shape index changes by >= 50% over post-embryonic growth (pre-registered refutes threshold 2/3); fraction gnomonic = 0.006 (supports threshold 2/3) (n = 179 series (177 species), Devonian-Jurassic, 168 allometric, 10 intermediate, 1 gnomonic (Eurites permutus); 93.9% of series show a monotonic trend (|Spearman rho| >= 0.7, p < 0.05) in at least one index). Interpretation: Thompson's gnomon is 'an addition that leaves the enlarged whole similar to what it was before'; for a coiled conch, continued similarity means that the ratios describing its shape are unchanged by growth, which is exactly what constant CWI, UWI and WER along an ontogenetic trajectory express (constant WER is the constant spiral angle; constant CWI and UWI fix the whorl-section proportions and the umbilicus). Ammonoid conchs are molluscan shells, within the stated scope. The embryonic ammonitella (dm below about 1-2 mm) formed inside the egg rather than by the accretion Thompson describes, so points below 2 mm are excluded. Thresholds of 25% and 50% are chosen before analysis to separate measurement noise in cross-sections from genuine shape change; the measurement protocol (Korn 2010) reports typical errors of a few percent.";

Otherwise 'mixed'. Fewer than 30 qualifying species: inconclusive (underpowered). File unobtainable: inconclusive, data-unavailable.";
<https://w3id.org/delphi/ontology/evidenceAgainst> "Scope: Palaeozoic-Jurassic ammonoid conchs only; Thompson's gnomon claim also covers gastropod and bivalve shells, opercula, foraminiferal chambers, horns and tusks, which were not tested. The 25% and 50% thresholds are pre-registered conventions, not derived from Thompson.",
"The refutation is carried almost entirely by the umbilical width index: UWI changes by >= 50% in 92% of series (median change 204%), whereas the whorl expansion rate, which encodes the spiral angle, stays within 25% in 80% of series (median change 17%). The spiral itself is therefore close to logarithmic (gnomonic in Thompson's sense), while the whorl section and the degree of involution change through growth, so the enlarged conch is not similar to its earlier self. Dropping UWI, only 34% of series (27% at dm >= 5 mm) are allometric and the pre-registered rule would give 'mixed'.",
"Thompson himself notes elsewhere (ch. XI, changes of spiral angle with age) that some ammonoids change their spiral angle during growth; this test shows that even where the spiral angle is nearly constant, the conch shape generally is not.",
"UWI is the noisiest index at small diameters (small umbilical widths); the 2 mm cut-off and the requirement of a monotonic trend (met by 94% of series) limit but do not remove this effect; at dm >= 5 mm the allometric fraction is still 84%.",
"Walton & Korn chose their 177 species to study pachyconic and globular ammonoids with phased ontogenies, so the sample is probably enriched in species with strong ontogenetic shape change relative to ammonoids at large.";
