Description
Orthoceras first appeared about 505 million years ago. They were marine, or sea animals similar to the modern squid. They had a shell shaped like a cone. Orthoceras were active swimmers in warm shallow seas and swam by squirting water out of the body cavity. They ate small animals and some grew to be 6 feet long. In the fossilized remains of the shell, you can often see different chambers where the animal lived. This fossil, including the matrix is about 6.5 inches in length.Buyer is to pay .00 shipping.
