Interesting Facts
Ammonites thrived in the world’s oceans for over 300 million years, but went extinct along with the dinosaurs around 66 million years ago.
Their chambered shells helped them regulate buoyancy, much like modern-day nautiluses.
Madagascar is renowned for producing some of the most well-preserved and beautifully mineralized ammonite fossils in the world.
