All ammonites were wiped out during or shortly after the K-Pg extinction event, caused by the Chicxulub impact. It has been suggested that ocean acidification generated by the impact played a key role in their extinction, as the larvae of ammonites were likely small and planktonic , and would have been heavily affected.

Common species found in North America include S. lobatus, S. lenticularis, and S. pleurisepta. New species have been found from localities outside of North America such as S. binkhorsti from the Maastricht Formation in the Netherlands , S. siva from the Valudavur Formation in India and S. brasiliensis from the beds along the banks of the Rio ...
Parapuzosia is an extinct genus of desmoceratid ammonites from the Cenomanian to the Campanian of Africa, Europe, and North America. [2] They are typically very large ammonites, reaching diameters of 60 cm (2.0 ft) or more, with the largest species measuring around 2 m (6.6 ft). [3]
Oxynoticeras is an extinct genus of ammonite from the Early Jurassic [1] of Europe and North America. [2] This genus is characterized by its smooth shell, with almost invisible undulations on the flank, and a sharp keel. [3] Synonym Oxynotoceras was created by Buckman as misspelling. [4]
Although almost all evidence indicated that ammonites did not survive past the K–Pg boundary, there is some scattered evidence that some ammonites lived for a short period of time during the Paleocene epoch, although none survived the Danian (66-61 Ma); [1] they were likely extinct within 500,000 years of the K-Pg extinction event, which ...
