When you hear the name ammonite, you probably think, "that one with the swirly pattern". Their true identity is little appreciated; in fact, they are fossilized creatures that lived in the sea from about 400 million to 65 million years ago. Japan is a treasure trove of ammonite fossils. This book pictures some of the commonly found Japanese ammonite fossils.
