Ammonite Fossil
Ammonites Are The Fossils Of Shelled Cephalopods That Lived Around 225-65 Million Years Ago. They Are Often Found In Large Concentrations And Are Common In The Rock Strata Of The Mesozoic Era. The Ammonites Became Extinct At The End Of The Cretaceous, At Roughly The Same Time As The Dinosaurs Disappeared. The Name ''ammonite'' Comes From The Fossil's Resemblance To The Horn Of Jupiter Ammon. In The Hindu Religion, This Fossilized Stone Or Ammonite Is Known As ''shaligram, Or Shaligrama Shila'' Which Is Collected From The Himalayan Riverbed Or Banks Of The Kali Gandaki, A Tributary Of The Gandaki River In Nepal. It Is Also Considered A Form Of Vishnu Within Hinduism. An Ammonite Fossil Brought From Nepal Was Photographed In Tehatta, West Bengal; India On 14/12/2023. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)
