Ammonites were armoured cephalopods that died out around 66 million years ago. Fossils of them are found all over the world. All ammonites had a chambered shell which they used to regulate their buoyancy.

Their geometry and beauty has captured the human imagination at least since the Mesolithic (Middle Stone Age), giving rise to many origin myths, and beliefs about their magical and healing properties.
