Based on the fossil record, ammonites came in a wide range of sizes and shapes, from smaller than an inch to as large as nine feet wide. Some ammonites had long, straight shells, while others had ...
These animals are known from the Jurassic Period, from about 200 million years ago. Most ammonites died out at the same time as the non-avian dinosaurs, at the end of the Cretaceous Period, 66 million ...
Most ammonites died out 66 million years ago, at the same time as dinosaurs. Fossilised ammonite shells can be found all around the world, including on parts of Britain's coastline. But if you can't ...
