	Ammonite Fossils & Ammonites Evolution by Discovering Fossils
		Ammonites were the predators of their time, feeding on most living marine creatures including molluscs, fish and even other cephalopods.
		The body of the Ammonite was contained within the large final, open-ended section called the 'living' or 'head chamber', from which the tentacles were extended to catch prey.
		The chambered interior of the shell is referred to as the phragmocone, and in life this contained gasses which enabled the ammonite to regulate its buoyancy within the water column.

	Ammonites Etc -- Introduction
		Ammonites are probably the best known type of fossil, with their classic spiral snail shell shape.
		The name Ammonite is derived from ancient Egypt where they were called “Ammon’s Stones” due to their resemblance to the “rams horns of Ammon”, the Egyptian God of life and procreation, and who had rams horns behind each ear, which look like Ammonites.
		As different species of Ammonites lived during different time periods, scientists can use these animals to determine the relative age of the rocks in which their fossils are found ("index fossils").

		Ammonites were common during the Mesozoic Era, but are not found after the Cretaceous period (when they went extinct).
		For example, if a new fossil is found in the same rock layer as an ammonite that is known to have lived only during the Cretaceous period, the new fossil can likely be dated to that same period.

	Ammonoidea
		Ranging in size from coin to VW Bug, ammonoids (also called ammonites), form a great part of the world's marine fauna from their inception in the Devonian all the way through the Mesozoic.
		The living ammonite dwells in only the foremost chamber, the one still composed of calcite, but retains control over the other chambers by means of the siphuncle, a tube of living tissue that extends through the shell.
		The ammonite uses the siphuncle to pump nitrogen gas and water around the chambers of its shell, altering its own buoyancy to ascend or sink through the water.
