Precambrian Animal

What is the Precambrian Time?
     This is the Precambrian Time...


Ammonite

Ammonites are a Precambrian animal.  They are part of the class of sea animals called cephalopods.  This class of mollusks is the smartest of its kind.  The body of an ammonite is divided into chambers, one of which has an opening.  The living part of the animal lives in the chamber next to the opening.  Ammonites can differ in size starting from half an inch to about six feet.  Ammonites are essentially the ancestors of sea snails that we see today.  They truly are unique and interesting Precambrian creatures.
