Description: | This ammonite has a very simply shaped shell, compared with other ammonites such as Dactilyoceras and Hildoceras, which have shells that are more coiled. If you look closely, you can see the suture lines that cover the surface of the shell, which look a bit like the frilly patterns in a piece of lace. The suture lines form as the shell of the ammonite grows. | 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 |
