Ammonites were shelled cephalopods that died out about 66 million years ago. Fossils of them are found all around the world. Before we understood what they were, one of the explanations for ammonites was that they were coiled-up snakes that had been turned to stone, earning them the nickname 'snakestones'. But ammonites weren't reptiles: they were ocean-dwelling molluscs, specifically cephalopods.
