This story from the BBC is cool: Xray studies of ammonite fossils reconstruct their teeth--and the last meal for one critter. The team says ammonites could not tear off large chunks of meat, but with so many 2-3mm teeth (and presumably tentacles to hang on with) I imagine they could gnaw into something shell-less fairly effectively. I'd not stick my finger in its mouth...
