MODEL OF AN AMMONITE AS IT MIGHT HAVE LOOKED IN LIFE
« backMODEL OF AN AMMONITE
An example of how an ammonite might have looked when it was alive
Ammonites are extinct marine shellfish that were common during the Jurassic period when dinosaurs were living on the land and much of England was submerged beneath warm seas.
This model, manufactured in Germany, shows how a living ammonite might have looked, with a head and tentacles. These soft parts have never been found as fossils.
