Description

The word Ammonite is derived from the name of the Greek God ” Ammon” that appeared with rams’ horns on his head. These distant ancestors of the chambered Nautilus are members of the Phylum Cephalopoda. The animal that lived in these shells looked somewhat like an octopus or squid. There are several different species of ammonites. Some were more than four feet across in size, while others never grew any larger than a dime. These Moroccan ammonites are approximately 400 million years old.
