      I don’t know a lot about ammonites as I didn’t take many palaeontology (the study of fossils) classes. I know that they are related to modern octopus, squid, and cuttlefish; and that they went extinct about the same time as the last of the non-avian dinosaurs. Lyme Regis is a good place to look for ammonite fossils.
