Description: This dish is made out of Orthoceras. These dishes are perfect for storing anything from crystals to jewelry or really anything you want. Great for gifts. 

The ancestor of the squid, Orthoceras shells range in length from a few inches to over six feet. Their middle body chamber is transversely constricted, and that would help them crawl across the ocean floor and swim. Orthoceras could float by filling chambers of their shells with air and they used jet propulsion by squirting water to move.
