Most species of Ammonites also went extinct during this era, but it’s believed the Discoscaphites genus may have briefly survived the extinction event before going missing in the fossil record.
Covered in a Mother of Pearl nacreous shell, the Ammonite’s opalescence is due to the Aragonite found in the shell. As light travels and bounces through the layers of Aragonite, a rainbow spectrum can be observed. Thicker layers of Aragonite can lead to deep shades of red and orange, while thin layers can display shimmering greens and dainty violets.
