Description: | Aegoceras lataecosta was an ammonite that lived in the early Jurassic seas, about 200 million years ago. Ammonites are extinct, but were similar to the modern Nautilus that lives in the warm water of the Pacific Ocean. They had tentacles, and used a jet propulsion system, squirting water out of their shell, so that they could move backwards quite quickly. | 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 |
