Fossils from Denmark suggest ammonites survived the asteroid extinction far longer than believed, raising new questions about how these ancient marine survivors finally disappeared after Earth’s most ...

Contrary to popular belief, ammonites, ancient marine mollusks, survived the asteroid impact that wiped out the dinosaurs. Recent fossil discoveries in Denmark indicate some ammonite species persisted ...

Image of the Day: Inside an Ammonite CT scans of hollow fossilized ammonites revealed that the invertebrates could have been buoyant enough to swim like their distant modern cousin, the nautilus.

The field of paleo-inspired robotics is opening up a new way to turn back time and studying prehistoric animals. Paleontologists aren’t easily deterred by evolutionary dead ends or a sparse fossil ...

Scientists say studying objects like Ammonite, despite their immense distance, offers valuable insight into the solar ...
