5. Belemnite
When we find fossils, we only find the hard shell from inside the Belemnite – and that has turned to stone over millions of years!
This is what a living Belemnite would have looked like! The hard shell is inside the skin!

6. Ammonite
This is what the living Ammonite would have looked like. Like an octopus or squid living in a hard snail shell!
We only see the hard shell (turned into rock) when fossil hunting – the soft parts have all gone!
When alive, the Ammonite filled the spaces in it’s shell with gas – so it could float! It trumped to float!
