Ammonites

 

Ammonites were cephalopods, predatory marine mollusks, and shared many similarities with their modern relatives, the squid, octopus and chambered nautilus. The term ammonite refers to an extinct group of mollusks. These creatures along with dinosaurs, died out at the close of the Cretaceous period, about sixty five million years ago. The most frequently preserved portion (fossil) of the ammonite is the hard shell. This shell served as protection for the soft tissue of the animal and also allowed the animal to achieve buoyancy in the marine environment in which it lived.

Baculites are a nearly straight-shelled type of heteromorph ammonite that lived worldwide throughout the Late Cretaceous period.  Baculites and related Cretaceous straight ammonite cephalopods are often confused with the superficially similar orthocerid nautiloid cephalopods.  The two types of fossils can be distinguished by many features, most obvious among which is the suture line: it is simple in orthocerid nautiloids and intricately folded in Baculites and related ammonoids.
