Because ammonites and their close relatives are extinct, little is known about their way of life. Most ammonites probably lived at the surface of the ancient seas.

Many of them are thought to have been good swimmers with flattened discus-shaped, streamlined shells. Ammonites probably preyed on fishes and crustaceans.

Ammonites were themselves preyed upon by marine predators and their fossilized shells are sometimes found showing the teeth marks from such attacks.
