Ammonites were extinct, predatory, free-swimming marine mollusks with chambered, coiled external shells. They were closely related to modern squid and octopuses<\/mark>. They lived from the Paleozoic to the late Cretaceous eras. They became extinct around 66 million years ago with the non-avian dinosaurs, and are now common fossils used to determine the age of rocks. Their fossils, which are sometimes called “snakestones,” can vary in shape. They show intricate internal chamber walls called septa<\/a> and complex suture lines<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
