Description
Ammonites are a group of extinct shelled cephalopods, related to today's squids and octopuses.
Fossilised ammonite shells can be found all around the world, including on parts of Britain's coastline. But if you can't get out to the beach to find ammonites at the moment, why not start a collection of salt dough specimens at home instead?
