This fish fossil shows that it perished after ingesting a huge ammonite, a type of mollusk.
The analysis of the preserved stomach residue indicated that this fish had devoured a variety of prey before dying.Notably, the stomach fossil included traces of a big, shelled organism ammonite conch – around 10 centimeters across.inspection revealed that the ammonite was not digested by the fish, and it perished shortly after gulping the entire creature.The team also speculates that the fish may have inadvertently swallowed the organism, causing it to become stuck in its mouth.
The ammonite's shell then could have blocked passage to the intestine, leading to either congestion or internal bleeding. And in any case, the fish would have died within a couple of hours.Where it was preserved, along with its stomach contents, for millions of years. And now found by scientists.
