Ammonites were sea animals that existed in the oceans millions of years ago. Even though their appearance resembles the nautilus (members of the cephalopod family that have firm outer shells) or snail, their structure is actually more similar to octopuses and squid (members of the coleoid family) which have no skeletons.
Interesting Tidbits: It’s fascinating that this fossil with its nautilis design is beneficial to architects and those in construction. Having this fossil around enables architects and engineers to see the whole plan from start to finish. Many Aquarians are drawn to this unusual looking member of the fossil family.

| “Our appearance is kinda different. We were fossilized animals many many years ago. I bet you didn’t know that architects and construction people used Ammonites for incentive and motivation. To think we would be instrumental in the building of a bridge.” |

| “We are the delicate and fragile little darlins of the Ammonite family. We were around 400 million years ago and became extinct with the dinosaurs. We weren’t bothering anybody. Why did somebody have to find us now?” |
