Although the ancient nautilus has an external shell, the trend in cephalopods is to internalize and reduce the shell.
Cephalopods are an ancient group that appeared some time in the late Cambrian period several million years before the first primitive fish began swimming in the ocean.
Thus, nautilus is very different from modern cephalopods in terms of morphology and life history.
Nautilus (from Greek nautilos, 'sailor') is the common name of any marine creatures of the cephalopod family Nautilidae, the sole family of the suborder Nautilina.
The nautilus shell is composed of 2 layers: the outer layer is a matte white, while the inner layer is a striking white with iridescence.
