Ortoceras Fossil is hundreds of millions of year extinct. Here is little information about the fossil.

An orthoceras is what's known as a nautiloid that is from the Devonian period of the Paleozoic era from millions of years ago. Since they're a marine mollusk, their bodies haven't been preserved. Today, you can find their shells fossilized. 

They're relative to octopus and squid. They have a strong nervous system, jaws, and eyes. While they're not around anymore, you can still keep a genuine piece of history. 

During the Paleozoic era, they're found in a chamber at the end of its cone shell. Their tentacles are on the outside of their shell and grow from their head.

Their tentacles are what helps them swim and crawl around the ocean floor. It's not known what caused their extinction, but it happened hundreds of millions of years ago.
