Abstract

Ammonites were molluscs, now extinct, that abounded in Mesozoic seas. Their external shells are almost always the only parts of them that are preserved, and their soft-part anatomy and lifestyles remain largely unknown. The shells, however, can be preserved in various ways that shed light on the animals as living organisms, including their variation and evolution, possible colour patterning and the creatures that preyed upon them.
