Description
A genuine fossil specimen of Nautilus deslongchampus, originating from the Cenomanian stage of the Cretaceous Period, found in Glynde, United Kingdom. This extinct species of nautiloid cephalopod lived in warm, shallow marine environments and is characterised by its distinct coiled shell and chambered internal structure.
Nautilus deslongchampus belongs to the subclass Nautiloidea, a lineage of marine cephalopods that has changed little since the Paleozoic and remains represented today by living nautilus species. This fossil provides a window into the marine ecosystems of the Late Cretaceous and is an excellent addition to any collection.
