Ammonites and Baculites from our fossil collection.
Ammonites were an incredibly diverse group of cephalopods that first appeared during the Devonian Period, around 400 million years ago, and lasted until the end of the Cretaceous Period, approximately 66 million years ago, when most dinosaurs went extinct.
It’s estimated that over 10,000 different species of ammonites have been discovered so far. They have been found all over the world and come in a variety of shapes and patterns, like the ones you see here.
Want to see this collection in person? It’s on display here at the Hutchings Museum!

Allosaurus Shed Teeth and Skull Plate from Vernal, Utah.
Because theropod dinosaurs like Allosaurus had thin, serrated teeth meant for slicing rather than crushing, they were more prone to breaking and regrowing. It is fairly common to find shed teeth like these in North American Jurassic sediments, such as those around Vernal, Utah.
