Ammonites were prehistoric marine creatures related to the modern day nautilus, octopus, and squid family. They had a parrot-like beak for crushing their prey. They are also known as cephalopods because their head and tentacles protruded from the same opening of their shell. There are many different species of ammonites which can be found around the world.
