Paleozoic Pals Ammonoid Plush

Descripción

Adopt a cuddly fossil friend today with Paleozoic Pals from the Paleontological Research Institution. The Paleozoic is the era before dinosaurs, during which animal life first diversified in the seas, and eventually came ashore to become land vertebrates. Great for fossil-lovers of all ages, this soft ammonoid plushie is 16 inches long and ready to snuggle you with all its tentacles. Ammonoids are a major group of extinct shelled cephalopods (the group containing octopuses and squid) that lived from the Devonian (~380 million years ago) to the end of the Cretaceous (~65 million years ago). The term “ammonite” is often used to refer to ammonoids as a whole. However, it actually refers to a smaller sub-group of ammonoids, restricted to the Jurassic and Cretaceous Periods.
