Product Description

Orthoceras are prehistoric cephalopods ("head-footed creatures") related to squid and octopus. This beautiful orthoceras (meaning "Straight Horn") fossil is from the Sahara Desert in Morocco. It dates to the Devonian Period - 395 to 345 million years old! These ancient mollusks had long, straight shells divided into chambers connected by a narrow tube, called the "siphuncle." These chambers were used to regulate buoyancy by exchanging gases and fluids, and the animal lived in the largest chamber.
