Ammonites inhabited our oceans for 440 million years, from the Devonian period to the late Cretaceous (66 million years ago). They are cephalopod molluscs, with fossil shells, they are very varied and abundant. Cephalopod animals are characterized by having tentacles on their heads -hence their scientific name, which literally means "head with feet"-, like current octopuses or squids.
