Abstract: Ammonites are an extinct marine fauna, living for a length about 300 million-years; they have high scientific values in stratigraphy and paleontology. Moreover, ammonite fossils have contributed to mythology and palce names to a surprising high degree, due to their beautiful shell, varied forms, and well-preserved samples. There were popular legends about ammonites many years ago.
