These extinct mollusks had a long, chambered shell that tapered to a point. Orthoceras first appears in the fossil record about 450 to500 million years ago. It populated mostly warm, shallow seas. Usually in the 2 - 12 inch range, the giant of the species grew up to 16 feet long. They became extinct around the same time as the dinosaurs. Other branches of the family tree survived, and evolved into the nautilus that we know today.
