Ammonite Fossil Replicas From The Past

Realistic looking resin-cast fossil replicas with information sheet


Ammonites are mollusks that lived in the outermost chamber of coiled shells. They had eyes and tentacles, and jet propelled through water. Ammonites are perhaps the most widely known fossil, possessing the typically ribbed spiral-form shell as pictured above. These creatures lived in the seas between 240 - 65 million years ago, when they became extinct along with the dinosaurs. The name 'ammonite' (usually lower-case) 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.
