The tragic evolutionary story of the ammonites spans millions of years and multiple mass extinction events. Despite surviving and thriving after previous catastrophes, the ammonites faced relentless challenges from new predators and competitors. They evolved various strategies, such as retreating into shells and strengthening their armor, but ultimately couldn't overcome the superior adaptations of their adversaries. They made valiant efforts to improve their swimming and shell defenses, but these attempts were in vain. In the end, the ammonites were defeated on their own advantageous battlefield during the CenomanianTuronian extinction event. This catastrophic defeat marked the inevitable demise of the ammonites and other armored swimming creatures. The impact of the Gulf of Mexico meteorite delivered the final blow, sealing their tragic fate.
