The Ammonites of Prehistoric Planet 2

[@kade-qt1zu]

I love how the music makes the audience feel like they're viewing an alien world. It helps to sell the idea of just how strange yet beautiful these creatures were.

[@ccroww]

I love willy wonka music

[@UnofficialJurassicWorldYT]

Ammonites are such awesome creatures why they rarely appear in any prehistoric documentaries

[@TarbosaurusBaatar]

I feel like ammonites should be the face of palaeontology. When I think of palaeontology I think of ammonites.

[@UnofficialJurassicWorldYT]

​@@TarbosaurusBaatar yeah

[@dolsopolar]

​@PedroOrtega1993 trilobites are the icon of paleozoic while ammonites are for mesozoic

The massive variety of ammonites is like the epitome of evolution. They're basically evolution saying "screw it, if it looks dumb but it works, then it's not dumb."

[@AlastairSo]

I love the music that goes with this video, give a “creepy unknown sea shell feeling”

[@nolangerrans6083]

I love how the episode shows the nostoceras as they progress through their growth to show how such a weird shape could develop. They start looking so normal and it creates a really fun reveal to see the incredibly bizarre coil they develop as adults

[@DreadEnder]

This was arguably the best scene yet!

[@Nataboopink]

Wow, it’s squidwards great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great grandparents! And also, how does nostoceras eat?

[@Gamma2003]

I am wondering the same thing

[@lochness5524]

Cephalopods like Sauidward (basically any modern day cephalopod that isn’t a nautilus) already appeared by the Carboniferous, diverging from ammonites by the Devonian period

[@cm94returns19]

I bet their filter feeders that’s my guess?

[@WiseSnake]

Most likely they were able to twist their bodies in order to feed properly. Similar to torsion in snails.

[@paddyodriscoll8648]

He’s confused ammonites, that showed up in the Jurassic, with Ammonoids, that ammonites were a subfamily.

[@snowysmile9082]

I kinda wish they're all still alive

[@cm94returns19]

i feel yah because the only descendent of the ammonites today are the chambered nautilus the closest thing to ammonites we have today

[@Evanplays993]

1. Generic ammonite 0:35 2. Baculites 1:05 3. Diplomoceras 1:27 4. Nostoceras 2:19 the end 3:25

[@Ozraptor4]

The "generic ammonites" are identified as Sphenodiscus in the last episode.

[@altithoraxperotorum5133]

F zodiac sings Wich ammonite are you ?

[@GuywithaTrexskullonhishead]

[@lhamaseveramenteirritada9760]

Parapuzosia

[@Ozraptor4]

Pachydiscus

[@superbib7652]

I know it's not technically one But Cameroceras

[@omage3457]

This part of the episode is so beautiful, but sad when you realize only 2 species of ammonites survived the end of the cretaceous and those only lasted for a few hundred thousand years in the early cenozoic.

[@MinhthanhLe-wz6fd]

The baby just adorable

[@SimonBoom-q8h]

Wow the shells look nice every single one of them

[@mnessenche]
