Description
Ammonites. Assortment of small and large ammonites clustered around pieces of wood. These are extinct marine animals which lived between 380 and 65 million years ago. Distantly related to the modern-day nautilus, ammonites were cephalopod molluscs, resembling a squid-like animal within a coiled shell. These ammonites were found in lower lias rock in Lyme Regis, England. Lower lias is limestone rock which was laid down in the early Jurassic period (195-172 million years ago). Part of the Jurassic sea bed (grey) can also be seen in the image. These ammonites are from Andy Barton Cowap's Classic Jurassic collection.
