Description: | This common ammonite is often found on the Yorkshire coast. Ammonites were often used to make snakestones. If you look very closely at the shell, you can see the suture lines, which in this case are a pale beige colour. Suture lines mark the boundaries between the different chambers in the shell, and in this case, the lines look quite frilly, like a piece of lace. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | fossils natural world | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
