Ammonite

Ammonite Information

Ammonites were fascinating marine creatures that lived in the oceans from around 240 million to 65 million years ago. Ammonites were shelled cephalopods, relatives of modern-day octopuses, squids, and cuttlefish. Their spiral shells are one of the most recognizable fossils. Ammonite fossils have been discovered all over the world, including Jurassic Coast here in Dorset.

These ancient creatures continue to captivate our imagination, and their fossils provide valuable insights into the history of life on Earth.
