Summary: Interesting but could be better
Comment: The book has superb photographs, both black and white and color.
The extended discussion of the attempts to establish what ammonite biology might have been like by comparing them with living and dead realative was fascinating.

On the negative side, I missed any discussion of the human context of ammonites. When were they first noticed? What was the process of ascertaining what they really were? As a non-specialist, I could have done with less information on the history and details of various species.

Overall, while worth reading, this book suffers in comparison with Richart Fortley's book Trilobite.
