@AuronWarrior they're similar yes but they're two distinctively different subgroups of cephalopds - they're not the same and yes ammonites are extinct
Yes I know. I just thought that they both died off at the same era, or time.
Nautiloids didn't survive because of their shell. Ammonites still exist today because they were able to go down deep enough into the ocean to protect themselves from all the meteors, harsh waves, and predators.
These were and still are, small enough to withstand high oceanic pressures. The way that their shells are shaped helped them survive high pressures.
As far as theories go, there is no current fullproof explanation as to why some cephalopods survived but some didn't, especially since the differences between ammonites and nautiloids are minimal at the most. It is, however, the ammonites that died out, the nautilus species alive today are nautiloids.
Try searching for Nautilus macromphalus and Nautilus belauensis. They are much smaller varieties, and the more thoroughly orange shell of belauensis is quite lovely.

Call me dumb but, wow!
Last time I saw this was from a book with ancient animals. I thought these were extinct?
So when did they discover these?

They've been around since pretty much forever. Look up the Frilled Shark too, those are about as old as these guys.

Correct me if I'm wrong though.

I gotcha.
I confused myself in the last comment with ammonites and nautiloids.
And I confirmed myself with wikipedia. :)

They are shy and live in deep, dark waters. These fellas were gently brought up to 90' for us to see in Palau.
