Ancient ammonite hoplites lived during the early albian and Middle Albian eras. Scientists found these fossil shells across Europe, Transcapia, and Mexico.

These shells show a flattened, boxy shape that tapers near the outer edges. Strong bumps near the center spin out thick, dividing lines that stop at the top of the edge of the shell. These lines create high, raised borders across the top in either a back-and-forth or side-by-side pattern.

Some types show sharp zigzag patterns across their shells. The ends of these lines get very thick and rise into small, sharp spikes that formed tilted points along the edges.

Whitie, the Ammonite Hoplites dentatus albien replica, is going skydiving today. She is super excited.

Isolate, the Isotelus maximus trilobite replica, really does not want to go but Whitie pressured him into going. She most likely will have to push him out of the plane.
