A nautilus fossil is the petrified shell of an ancient marine cephalopod that belongs to a lineage of ocean predators spanning over 500 million years of Earth's history.Famously known as "living fossils," ancient nautiluses survived multiple mass extinction events—including the cataclysm that wiped out the dinosaurs—and are still represented by a few living species in deep Indo-Pacific waters today.
