Orthoceras, from Morocco (REF:ORTH1)

Orthoceras ("straight horn") is an extinct nautiloid cephalopod. The shell of Orthoceras is shaped like a slowly tapering cylindrical cone, and is made up of closely spaced concavo-convex chambers, joined together by a centrally placed tube called a siphuncle (the tube connecting the chambers of the shell).

Orthoceras was an active swimmer, with the shell positioned horizontally in the water. It scavenged and predated on small animals.
