I am related to the squid and the octopus. I became extinct at the same time as the dinosaurs. Watch me swim!

Ammolite is also known by the Blackfoot people as Iniskim: Buffalo Rock, or Buffalo Calling Stone. Short version of the Iniskim Legend, in English and Blackfoot. Long version of the Iniskim legend. Ammolite is also the official gemstone of the City of Lethbridge, Alberta. 90% of the world's Ammolite is mined in Southern Alberta.
	This is the largest Ammonite fossil found in the world (so far)!
