These creatures lived in the oceans during the Mesozoic Era and were characterized by their coiled shells, which resemble tightly wound spirals.  Ammonites had tentacles, a soft body, and a chambered shell that they used for buoyancy and protection. These fascinating creatures were diverse in size, shape, and ornamentation, with some species growing as large as several feet in diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThese specimens are particularly unique as the ammonite fossils are removable from the matrix and neatly fits back together with the matrix like a puzzle piece. \u003cspan\u003eThe black coloration of these fossils is due to the type of minerals or environmental conditions present during the fossilization process.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eApproximate Size of 1 piece\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e: 7cm x 5cm x 4cm - 10cm x 7cm x 5cm\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eApproximate Weight of 1 piece\u003c\/strong\u003e: 80g - 280g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1pc\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e*\u003cem\u003eNote: \"presentation\" refers to how well formed the fossil is.
