Ammonites were a group of extinct marine cephalopods that thrived from the Devonian period until the end of the Cretaceous period, about 66 million years ago. Characterized by their spiraled shells, ammonites are closely related to modern-day nautiluses, though their shells exhibit more complex suture patterns. These ancient creatures inhabited a wide range of marine environments and are valuable index fossils, helping scientists date and correlate rock layers across different regions. Their extinction, which coincided with the event that wiped out the dinosaurs, marked the end of a significant lineage of marine predators and scavengers.
