The Ammonite Fossil

Now extinct, the ammonite fossil was a mollusc, a shelled cephalopod, usually appearing in a coiled, spiral shape. The extinction of ammonites coincided with the extinction of dinosaurs. Ammonites inhabited the world’s oceans and now appear as fossils in marine life. Ammonites were predatory, squid like creatures that lived inside coil-shaped shells. Now, that’s pretty cool!

These amazing creatures constantly built new shell as they grew, but only lived in the outer chamber. They scooted through the warm, shallow seas by squirting jets of water from their bodies. A thin, tubelike structure called a siphuncle reached into the interior chambers to pump and siphon air and helped them move through the water.

Their diet consisted of small marine life, such as crustaceans, shrimp, starfish and fish. These have been found fossilised in ammonite shells, so we can be pretty confident that that’s what ammonites ate.

The name ‘ammonite’ originates from the Greek Ram-horned god called Ammon. Ammonites belong to a group of predators known as cephalopods, which includes their living relatives the octopus, squid, cuttlefish, and nautilus.
