ORTHOCERAS FOSSILS

Nature is nothing if not filled with variety. The history of this planet is one that has seen innumerable species come and go throughout the land, sea, and sky, and when we’re lucky, we get to see some of these extinct species in the form of fossils. The fossil Orthoceras is a perfect example of this, with them truly earning their name’s translation of “straight horn”.

These peculiar ancestors of the nautiloid cephalopod would have been a highly striking sight in the water, sporting a uniquely slender shell from which they get their title. Though extinct, and seemingly restricted to particular areas within Sweden and the Baltic States, Orthoceras fossils still appear, becoming a prized find for many collectors.

Orthocerus was an ancient Mollusk that lived more than 400 million years ago. The name means straight horn , which refers to its long straight conical shell that is all that remains of the creature.

It is the ancestor of the modern day Squid. These Orthocerus  are found in  Middle Ordovician-aged marine limestones of the Baltic States and Sweden.
