Cephalopods

The Cephalopods on this site were great. they had shell surface features and a nice brown color. Here's a specimen with a square shape. Dr. Richard Davis is asking to see these.

Most of the Cephalopods are round in shape, but they were also showed external features.

This next Cephalopod shows the siphuncle running down the center.

I think this is also a siphuncle, indicated by the fact that the chambers are slanted. This specimen is an internal mold of the siphuncle, showing all of the debris that had filled the cavity.
