Ammonite reconstruction part 2 ~ A modern re-telling:

Following on from our previous ammonite paleoart post, this modern image demonstrates what an ammonite may have actually looked like, following further studies on their ancestral relationships.

Ever found a Belemnite fossil??

This artwork depicts what these fossils may have looked like!

The bullet shaped fossils are very common and have a worldwide distribution.
