2.8" Paleocene Nautilus (Hercoglossa?) Fossil - Alabama
This is a fossil nautilus (Hercoglossa ulrichi?) that was collected from the Paleocene Midway Stage of Wilcox County, Alabama. It comes with an acrylic display stand.
A nautilus's shell is made up of two layers. The inner layer has the iridescent shine, while the outer layer provides protection from external forces. Inside the shell are septa that divide the living area of the shell into compartments and help the animal maintain balance and position in the water column.
