Ammonites are a group of fossil marine animals of the class Cephalopod molluscs. They can be several million years old.

The shell is generally the only fossilized part. It appears in the form of a flat spiral with contiguous turns. Some forms have a non-contiguous or helical or completely unrolled spiral, in which case we speak of heteromorphic ammonites. The shell is subdivided into a phragmocone divided into chambers (separated by suture lines characteristic of each species) and a living chamber where the soft body of the animal is located. All the chambers communicate through a ventral siphon.
