Many ammonoids probably lived in the open water of ancient seas, rather than at the sea bottom, because their fossils are often found in rocks laid down under conditions where no bottom-dwelling life is found. In general, they appear to have inhabited the upper 250 metres (820 ft) of the water column. [33]
This list of ammonites is a comprehensive listing of genera that are included in the subclass †Ammonoidea, excluding purely vernacular terms. The list includes genera that are commonly accepted as valid, as well as those that may be invalid or doubtful ( nomina dubia ), or were not formally published ( nomina nuda ), as well as junior ...

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 ...
