Ammonites were a subgroup of cephalopods – there were probably about 30,000 to 40,000 species. The size of the animals was mostly in the range of 1 to 30 cm.
There were also exceptions; for example, in 1895, an ammonite measuring 180 cm was found in a quarry near Seppenrode (southern Westphalia region).
Ammonites first appeared about 570 million years ago in the Lower Devonian period and lived until the Cretaceous period, about 70 million years ago, when they died out along with the dinosaurs.
Ammonites were assigned a mystical role in various cultures of the Old and New Worlds. In our German-speaking cultural sphere, ammonites were placed in milking buckets to promote milk production, or they were built into the roof ridge to protect against lightning. As good luck charms and protective talismans, ammonites were also placed above entrance doors or walled in.
Water is an element of life. Ammonites walled into/embedded in wells also indicate that the fossilized specimen was intended to protect against harmful influences and prevent the source from drying up.
The ammonite is also called snake stone. It is still used as a healing stone today.
