The Ammonites or Ammonoid Cephalopods appeared in the late Silurian

period about 400 million years ago. They became extinct along with the

dinosaurs at the end of the Cretaceous period 65 million years ago.

There name comes from their spiral shape appearing similar to rams

horns. This name can be traced back to the Greeks comparing them to

the Egyptian god of Ammon who is depicted as wearing Rams horns.

They likely ate fish, crustaceans, and other small creatures. They

themselves were preyed upon by large marine reptiles like Mosasaurs

and some shells even bear the teeth marks from such attacks.
