The surface of ammonites usually has a line pattern similar to that of chrysanthemums, hence the name. Ammonite has a hard shell outside, and its shell size varies greatly, the general shell is only a few centimeters or tens of centimeters, the smallest is less than one centimeter, and the largest can reach 2 meters.
