Ammonites lived on our planet for over 300 million years, they are often very common and thousands and thousands of their fossils can be found in rocks - from the Devonian age to the Cretaceous. However, extremely little is known about their way of life and biology. In this lecture, new research results will be highlighted and presented, which limits the increase in knowledge. Among other things, morphological changes in ammonite shells will be compared with palaeotemperature data, sea level changes, fluctuations in oxygen content and microfossil associations.
