Orthoceras for Sale – Retail or Wholesale
Orthoceras fossils are dated back to 400 plus million years ago and are the earliest recognizable animals. They are ancestors to the modern day squid. Even though they were among the earliest forms of life, this class of nautiloid (cephalopod bearing an external shell) is still considered one of the most intelligent forms of ocean life. The Orthoceras could do both, swim and crawl on the ocean floor. As they filled the chambers in their shells with air they could float through the seas directing and propelling themselves by squirting jets of water. As they died their shells accumulated upon the ocean floor, and then covered by sediments they transformed into stone and fossils over the ages. Having a long straight shell their fossils make for a great quality piece to add to your collection.
