The distinctive bullet-like shell of these nautiloids was once divided into gas-filled chambers, which kept the creatures buoyant in the water. They are now fossilised in black limestone and often found in clusters, washed together by the ancient sea currents.

This is a natural product, shapes and colour vary. British Fossils only supply rocks, minerals and fossils that are available in inexhaustible quantities. Much of their material is a by-product of other mining activities and they refuse to work with materials which could have an environmental impact.
