Ammonites are a group of fossil marine animals of the class of cephalopod molluscs. The shell is generally the only fossilized part. It appears in the form of a flat spiral with joined turns. Some forms have a non-joined spiral, helical or completely unrolled: we then speak of heteromorphic ammonites.
The term "ammonite" applies only to species that lived in the Mesozoic (Triassic-Jurassic-Cretaceous). The most morphologically similar living animal to ammonites is the nautilus.
This square representing Ammonites was printed from a fabric project made in the 1920s-1930s by Claudia Monod-Herzen (1899-1947). The original, a gouache on paper, is kept at the Musée des Tissus in Lyon.
