Foundation Spiral ArtAmmonite Fossil

- Ammonites are an extinct group of marine mollusc creatures who lived in the ancient oceans. - They are more closely linked to octopuses and squids.- Ammonites died out with the extinction of dinosaurs. - They vary in size from very small to large about 2m in diameter!

Ammonites filled their shell chambers with gas or fluid, which allowed them to rise to the surface or sink fast to avoid predators.

Fun fact!
