Are Ammonoids something you eat?

No, they’d be too hard to bite. Ammonoids are a form of water life that became extinct at the end of the Cretaceous Period (65 million years ago). They are one of the more commonly found fossils.
They had a tightly coiled shell that was divided in many chambers a lot like today’s nautilus. Scientist believe their shell was so strong that they could survive at a depth of 100 meters. No one really knows why the Ammonoids vanished but it happened at around the same time the dinosaurs became extinct.
