Using state-of-the-art imaging techniques, palaeontologists have been examining extinct marine creatures. Quantitative analyses provide new evidence that ammonites were able to swim using their shell – very much like the recent nautilus. For the purpose of the study, the researchers, together with partners from the industry, developed an evaluation process for high-res CT images.
