1. Ammonites!

I saw a giant fossil at the Steinhart Aquarium/Academy of Sciences before in San Francisco.

This one fish store had a couple chambered nautilus for sale. I think they all died because people don't know what's up with them.

Monterey Bay Aquarium has a few on display for your enjoyment.

I've got a few from the Mancos Shale unit (Mid-Cretaceous) I collected in Carthage New Mexico. There is a huge one in the Los Angeles County Natural History Museum, very cool!

3. kick!
I posted this last sunday at 2 in the morning and I still do not have enough data so I thought, this being squid week, I would give it a kick!

I really do need more data for my intelligent design theory...

11. Octopi are rather intelligent and I love the way they can quickly
change color and texture. They are great fun to watch.
