Ammonites in the permanent collection of The Children's Museum of Indianapolis. At least 57 species of ammonites, which were widespread and belonged to six superfamilies, were extant during the last 500,000 years of the Cretaceous, indicating that ammonites remained highly diverse until the very end of their existence.

Although almost all evidence indicated that ammonites did not survive past the K–Pg boundary, there is some scattered evidence that some ammonites lived for a short period of time during the Paleocene epoch, although none survived the Danian (66-61 Ma); [1] they were likely extinct within 500,000 years of the K-Pg extinction event, which ...

Fossils have been found throughout North America from localities in South Carolina, [1] North Carolina, [2] South Dakota, [3] Maryland, [4] New Jersey [5] and Mexico. [6] There is also evidence of the genus being present from the island of Trinidad , although the material found from here cannot be classified at the species level. [ 7 ]
Species of this genus were fast-moving nektonic carnivore shelled ammonoids. They lived in the Eifelian and Givetian ages of the middle Devonian period, which occurred 385.3-397.5 million years ago. Vanuxemi agoniatites is a rare species in this group which is the only ammonoid found in the Hamilton Group (Mahantango Formation) in Pennsylvania ...

Ammonites were cephalopods, that thrived in tropical seas until becoming extinct along with the dinosaurs at the end of the Mesozoic era. The ammonites that form ammolite inhabited a prehistoric, inland subtropical sea that bordered the Rocky Mountains—this area is known today as the Cretaceous or Western Interior Seaway .
