These creatures lived in the seas between 240 - 65 million years ago, when they became extinct along with the dinosaurs. Most ammonite shells are coiled, and all contain a series of linked chambers. 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 opening of the shell - called the aperture - was possibly covered by a protective shield that could shut to protect the ammonite from other predators.
