Field of small fossil ammomites with a large one

Field of small fossil ammonites with a single large one. Ammonites are extinct aquatic molluscs of the class Cephalopoda. They were abundant in the Mesozoic era, 225-65 millions years ago, and are commonly found in rock strata of that time. They were characterised by a coiled shell divided into many chambers, which acted as an aid to buoyancy. The ammonites died out in the mass extinction 65 million years ago, when the dinosaurs also disappeared.. Stunning Photo Gifts From Science Photo Library
