| | Ammonite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Ammonites probably preyed on fishes and crustaceans and were themselves preyed upon by marine reptiles (such as Mosasaurs). | | | Because ammonites and their close relatives are extinct, little is known about their way of life. | | | Due to their nektonic (free-swimming) habits, ammonites often happened to live directly above seafloor waters so poor in oxygen as to prevent the establishment of animal life on the seafloor. |

| | Nipponites - The Ultimate Weird Ammonite? - TONMO.com Forums |
| | The overall decline in ammonite numbers and forms is thought to have been due to environmental conditions as opposed to a weakened genetic stock. | | | Anyway, the bottom line does seem to be that Nipponites is a genuine species (not a freak) and simply a more extreme example of a family that was doing all kinds of odd things. | | | While they look strange, the fact that the Nostoceratidae were doing so well in the latest Cretaceous does seem to indicate that they were adapting to a changing world that the other ammonites, which were doing badly, were unable to do. |

| | Ammonite was an interesting blend of various themes, from the Wise Woman traditions to various concepts of hard SF. | | | The author's use of exposition to both provide the background information needed to follow the story and to slowly guide the reader from that which is known, to the world where the story will play out, is subtle and feels quite effortless. | | | There are several conflicts in Ammonite which drive the story forward. |

| | ammonite by Jack Wathey and Tom Bartol |
| | That ammonites are extinct also seems fitting, considering how rapidly our clusters become obsolete. | | | Perhaps the most helpful thing I could say is to urge you to consider building a conventional cluster (shelves of COTS midtower cases or racks of 1U pizza boxes) instead of something like ammonite. | | | For those similarly seized who have not yet started building, my experience might be helpful, so I'm putting this info on the web (many thanks to Per Jessen for hosting it). |

| | Ammonite is an unforgettable novel that questions the very meanings of gender and humanity. | | | It answers the question 'When you eliminate one gender, what's left?' ('A whole world,' is the answer.) But a lot of books, like Moby Dick, eliminate one gender, and yet nobody thinks anything about it. | | | "Ammonite is a self-assured, unselfconscious, convincing depiction of a world without men...doing what only SF can do, and doing it with skill and brio.... |

| | A related and very interesting aspect of ammonite palaeontology is the study of old and sick ammonites. | | | Obviously without any living ammonites to observe, so our estimates of the length of ammonite lifespans are somewhat vague. | | | Often these ammonites had been infected with some disease, or attacked by parasites, which they were either able to ignore or else rid themselves of. |

| | This method of construction is thought to have provided strength to the shell when diving to deeper depths. | | | By analogy to modern cephalopods, their method of attack probably comprised of silently stalking their prey, then rapidly extending their tentacles to grasp the target. | | | Other theories based around their social behaviour suggest their shells were decorated by an array of patterns, indicating that colour/good light played a large part in their lives. |

| | Why Are They Called Ammonites?: Ammonites were named for Amun (also spelled Ammon), an ancient Egyptian god who is pictured as having ram's horns behind each ear (which look like ammonites). | | | Ammonites were common during the Mesozoic Era, but are not found after the Cretaceous period (when they went extinct). | | | The walls of each chamber are called septa; these walls were penetrated by a ventral tubelike structure called a siphuncle that probably regulated the air pressure, allowing the ammonite to float. |
