Ammonite stamp of France 2014 MiNr.: 5752I, Scott: 4541

The booklet highlights the mystery of motion, especially that of the spiral.
One of these stamps depicts an Ammonite.
Ammonites are an extinct group of marine mollusc animals in the subclass Ammonoidea of the class Cephalopoda. The earliest ammonites appear during the Devonian, and the last species died out during the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event.
Ammonites are excellent index fossils, and it is often possible to date the age of the rock layer hosting a fossil of a specific species of Ammonoid.
