Ammonite cycle

An Ammonite bobs
around happily around the sea...  


But then dies 
and falls to
 the sea floor...
                                                             
The soft parts decay
 leaving the shell to be buried in sediment...

Then is changed by heated
 water and pressure over millions of years...

Into the fossil you find in the beach!
