Ammonites are a group of extinct marine molluscs, closely related to modern day octopuses and squids. They were one of the most successful and diverse groups of animals on earth, with more than 10,000 species identified from nearly everywhere on the planet where oceans once existed. The largest species of ammonite discovered is a partial fossil of Parapuzosia seppenradensis, which is estimated at being 8 - 11 ft in diameter! Because ammonites were so common and evolved so rapidly they are a useful tool for both palaeontologists and geologists to help determine the age of the rocks they were fossilised in.
