Did you guys get a load of this ammonite's final constitutional?

It appears to have died, drifted for 8 meters along the seafloor, and then fallen over for its final rest. One of the rare instances of finding an ichnofossil with its maker.
In the kingdom of the blind, better take public transit. Well, in the kingdom of the sighted, too, really--almost everyone is a terrible driver.

Interesting stuff, thanks for sharing.

When I first saw the video of the fossil I was saying to myself "How do they know its from an ammonite, its just lines in the sand, it could be from anything" and at the end of the video when it showed the ammonite I said "oh..." ::) It is a really cool fossil, very unique. It would make a very interesting ichnofossil figure, similar to Bullyland's Protocheirotherium. Actually, that gives me an idea... ;)
