An ancient squid-like animal with a shell that looked like a 1.5-metre-long paperclip may have typically lived for 200 years.
Diplomoceras maximum lived about 68 million years ago, making it a contemporary of Tyrannosaurus rex. It was an ammonite – a now-extinct group of tentacled cephalopods – and it had a distinctive paperclip-shaped shell.
