| AMMONITES |
| Ammonites These extinct
marine animals, which thrived in the Paleozoic and Mesozoic Eras, some 400 to 65 million
years ago, were cephalopods, and are thus related to squid, octopus, cuttlefish, and the
chambered nautilus. Visit the American Museum of Natural History's exhibit. |

| A
Fossil Time Line Create a fossil range chart for ammonites and their relatives
in the Class Cephalapoda, which includes modern species such as octopuses, squids,
cuttlefish, and nautilus. You will then use the information in the chart to determine the
age of particular rocks and to predict which rock might contain oil. |
| Cephalopods
in the News |
| Cephalopods: Octopus, Squid, and
Cuttlefish The cephalopods are unusual invertebrates because most lack a
hard shell. The squid and cuttlefish have small shells that are located inside of the
body, rather than outside. The octopus, on the other hand, has lost its shell completely.
All of the cephalopods are marine animals and all are carnivores. Visit the exhibit and
the national Aquarium in Baltimore. |
