These beautiful Orthoceras specimens are from Morocco. It measures about 13" inches high; and weighs 5.18 pounds. Orthoceras are extinct members of the cephalopod class with a long, straight, conical shell which could grow as long as 60 feet. The interior is divided into numerous chambers. These invertebrates swam the ocean by using a jet propulsion type system that expelled water from the chambers thus pushing them forward. They are related to the modern day squid, cuttlefish, and octopus and date back 350 million years ago. Fossilized cephalopods are found in the Sahara Desert, Morocco.
