A fossilized ammonite called Metoicoceras geslinianum, showing scientists how ancient sea creatures looked millions of years ago.

Metoicoceras was an ancient group of sea creatures that lived a very long time ago. It belonged to a family of animals called ammonites. Ammonites looked like modern squid and octopus but had spiral shells. These animals lived during a time called the Cenomanian. This was part of the Late Cretaceous period, millions of years before humans existed. Studying Metoicoceras helps scientists learn more about life in the oceans and how species have changed over time.
