Abstract
The distribution of Permian ammonoids within the five major biogeographic provinces (Arctic, Uralian, American, Tethyan, and Australian) is discussed.
Changes in the taxonomic and biogeographic structure of assemblages according to stages in the evolution of Permian ammonoids are considered for each region. It is shown that the geographical distributions and taxonomic diversity of ammonoids changed continuously throughout the Late Permian.
