AMMONITE

A common inhabitant of Mesozoic seas, ammonites were contemporaries of the dinosaurs. These animals were predators and looked like a shelled squid or chambered Nautilus, their nearest living relatives. Members of the cephalopod family, ammonites were well suited to swimming and foraging at various depths.

Abundant inhabitants of the Western Interior Seaway of North America, some species reached a diameter of six feet and an estimated living weight of one ton. The ammonites disappeared at the end of the Cretaceous, along with the dinosaurs, about 65 million years ago.
