Ammonite Fossil Pair Natural/Ammonite Fossil (जीवाश्म जोड़ी): They are perhaps the best-known fossils with a typically ribbed spiral shell as shown above. These creatures lived in the seas 240-65 million years ago, when they became extinct along with the dinosaurs. The name “ammonite” comes from the Greek god with a ram’s horns called Ammon. Ammonites are a group of predators. Those are cephalopods. They have similarities with living relatives of the squid, octopus, cuttlefish, and nautilus. Ammonite Fossil Pair Natural began life as tiny planktonic creatures less than 1 mm in diameter.
In their infancy, they would be vulnerable to attack by other predators, including fish; however, they quickly took on a strong protective outer shell that protected their soft interior from damage. Evidence suggests that they rapidly increased in size, with females growing up to 400% larger than males. The Ammonite Fossil Pair Natural moved with a jet drive, forcing water through a funnel-shaped opening to propel itself in the opposite direction. They usually lived for two years, although some species survived longer and grew very large, as shown above.
Evidence of their short life one can estimate by looking at their living relatives, the Nautilus. These creatures exist in modern seas and have many p similar to ammonites. The Ammonite Fossil spent most of its life in shallow waters. Evidence to support this includes their diet, which one can find in the greatest volumes on warm shoals. Other matters based on their social behavior. Which suggests that their shells were decorated with a variety of patterns. Besides, it is suggesting that good light played a large role in their lives.
Ammonite Fossil Pair Natural Benefits:
Ammonite Fossil Pair Natural is the most iconic of all fossils. Due to their striking beautiful spiral shells, they have high honor among fossil collectors and of course play a key role in stratigraphy. Because no close living analog of ammonites was in existence until the discovery of the nautilus, ammonites were particularly mysterious objects and complex folklore developed around them. There are many stories explaining the supposed origin of ammonites and many opinions about their magical and healing properties. They also served as inspiration for builders and architects who incorporated real ammonites – or motifs of ammonites – into buildings.
