The muscles and organs of an ammonite — an extinct relative of cuttlefish and squid with coiled shells and tentacles — have been reconstructed in 3D for the first time. The achievement has allowed a ...
There's rarely time to write about every cool science-y story that comes our way. So this year, we're once again running a special Twelve Days of Christmas series of posts, highlighting one science ...
Ammonites are a group of extinct cephalopod mollusks with ribbed spiral shells. They are exceptionally diverse and well known to fossil lovers. Researchers have developed the first biomechanical model ...
A shelled fossil discovered in an amateur’s collection may harbor the first direct evidence of prehistoric sharks eating ammonites some 150 million years ago. The palm-sized ammonite, an extinct ...

Beautifully preserved fossil ammonite collected from 165-million-year-old Jurassic site in Gloucestershire, UK; 3D reconstruction of combined neutron and X-ray images of fossil shows internal muscles ...
In an interesting discovery, paleontologists from Universität Hohenheim's Staatliches Museum für Naturkunde Stuttgart have unearthed a fossilized fish that tells of a tale of a meal gone awry from 180 ...
Giant, human-sized ammonites — extinct relatives of cuttlefish and squid with coiled shells and tentacles — lived on both sides of the Atlantic 80 million years ago. This is the conclusion of experts ...
Ammonites are among the most common marine fossils from the age of the dinosaurs, but no one has found one like this before. It shows one of the swimming marine molluscs without its distinctive spiral ...
Jack Wonfor (pictured) is among the fossil hunters on the Isle of Wight who found a 211-pound fossilized seashell. It’s a 115-million-year-old ammonite, best described as a “squid-like cephalopod ...
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- Purdue University researchers have discovered a fossil of a giant mollusk in Antarctica that provides scientists with their first complete view of a worm-like creature that ...
They found that the now-extinct molluscs sported hyponomes: tube-like syphons through which water is expelled to jet propel animals forward in water, as found in modern squid and octopuses. They also ...
