I think Ammonites must have been a fearsome looking creature as they made there way around the ancient seas.

The Nautilus is the only remaining cephlapod with an external shell and this video gives some idea of what the fossil Ammonites would have been like only bigger.

I am semi-retired after a career in medical sciences. I now work from home doing independent research and consultancy amongst other things. One advantage of this is that I do have time to indulge my interests including birdwatching, natural history, steam trains and history particularly ancient history.
