Not these specific genera or families. At most, a few of them may have lingered into the Triassic.

I first found out about it via a small drawing in an old geology textbook I found.

I love the eyestalks too, they make a lot of sense.
We've only ever found the shells of ammonites, correct? Are there ever any imprints of their soft parts?

I don't think so. We have found jaw apparati, even tentacle hooks, but no soft parts. I can only conclude that the ammonites were the most tastiest seafood in the Mesozoic.

I have never seen an ammonite that convoluted to be honest.......the stalked eyes are perfect for the niche-like opening by the way.

It was one of the reasons why I drew this bad boy in the first place.
