Ammonite , Giclée print by Lizzie Ault
Giclée print on archival quality paper, 10” x 10”
From an original digital illustration by Lizzie Ault
During the Jurassic period much of the UK would have been under the ocean. That’s why marine fossils are more commonly found here. Long-necked Plesiosaurs would have shared the waters with belemnites, a kind of ancient squid and ammonites - the ubiquitous spiral-shaped fossil.
Ammonites were believed to be petrified snakes. Some believed them to have powerful protective charms and wore them as amulets. The truth is that ammonites were actually a marine creature, similar to Cephalopods, like Octopus and Squid but unlike squid they had a hard external shell like a mollusc.
