===Ammonites(1)===
Ammonites are a of marine animals related to octopus, squid, and cuttlefish. Their name came from their spiral shape as their shells somewhat resemble tightly-coiled rams' horns. The largest specimens have a diameter of approximately 2.55 m. Many ammonoids live in the open water of the seas, rather than at the sea bottom. Many of them (such as Oxynoticeras) are good swimmers with flattened, discus-shaped, streamlined shells, although some ammonoids are less effective swimmers and are likely to be slow-swimming bottom-dwellers. The soft body of the creature occupies the largest segments of the shell at the end of the coil. The smaller earlier segments are walled off and the animal can maintain its buoyancy by filling them with gas. Thus the smaller sections of the coil float above the larger sections. They feed on plankton and smaller mollusks. Some escape predation by spraying ink and fleeing.
