Orthoceras Cephalopods

Orthoceras are extinct members of the cephalopod class.  These primitive sea creatures are similar to the modern chambered nautilus, but grew a straight shell rather than a coiled one.  Now extinct, the 345 - 395 million year old Devonian age orthoceras, meaning "straight horn", is an ancestor of the squid and octopus.
