There's rarely time to write about every cool science-y story that comes our way. So this year, we're once again running a special Twelve Days of Christmas series of posts, highlighting one science ...

The muscles and organs of an ammonite — an extinct relative of cuttlefish and squid with coiled shells and tentacles — have been reconstructed in 3D for the first time. The achievement has allowed a ...

Sometime between 163 million and 145 million years ago, the lonely corpse of a dead ammonite gently rucked up the ocean floor, driven by calm and constant currents. Now, anyone can explore a digital ...

Hello, for those of you who haven't heard of me. I am a retired hairdresser and I live in Bridlington with my husband Barry. Now that we are both retired we like to go out rambling and exploring.

Researchers have revealed the soft tissues of a 165-million-year-old ammonite fossil using 3D imaging. They found that the now-extinct molluscs sported hyponomes: tube-like syphons through which water ...
