An Orthoceras fossil is the fossilized shell of an extinct, ancient marine cephalopod that lived 400 to 500 million years ago. Characterized by a long, straight, conical shell, these fossils are found worldwide, with notable locations being the Atlas Mountains in Morocco. The shells, which contained chambers to control buoyancy, are often polished for their aesthetic appeal
