🌍 What Is Orthoceras?
Orthoceras (meaning “straight horn”) was an ancestor of today’s squid and nautilus. These creatures had long, conical shells and lived in ancient oceans that covered what is now North Africa and Europe.
This fossil captures not only the biological beauty of ancient life but also a powerful symbol of evolution, continuity, and Earth’s deep memory.
