Ammonites are marine fossils that lived in the seas between 240 - 65 million years ago, when they became extinct along with the dinosaurs. The name 'ammonite' originates from the Greek Ram-horned god called Ammon with the ammonites being so named due to their resemblance in shape to spiralled ram horns. Ammonites belong to a group of predators known as shelled cephalopods, which includes their living relatives the octopus, squid, cuttlefish and nautilus.
Today these fossilized remains are treasured for their striking spiral shape and natural beauty and the knowledge that each specimen carries millions of years of Earth's history within its layers.
