Goniatites are ammonites with a distinctive
goniotitic zig-zag pattern in the sutures that mark the spiraling growth of the
shell. The extinct ammonite that decended from Nautiloids is an example of the
remarkable symmetry often found in nature. Mineral exchange over the eons can
create an amazing array of contrasting colors and the beautiful natural display
you see here. Ammonites were Cephalopods sharing a common ancestor with the
squid and octopus. The ammonites that appeared in the Devonian became very
diverse and widespread in the Paleozoic and Mesazoic before going extinct along
with the dinosaurs at the end of the Devonian period.
