Collectible Wildlife Gifts | Nautilus Shell, Pelagic Marine Mollusc, Ocean, Sea Life, Plastic Model, Animal, Life Like, Gift, 2" F4113 B96

Use our realistic plastic NAUTILUS SHELL replica for science projects, displays, dioramas, decorations or as a toy.     Our Plastic Nautilus Shell This plastic nautilus shell toy replica is 2 1/4 inches long and is made of hard, slightly flexible plastic. It is sturdy and durable, very slightly tan in color and with a shiny, pearlescent sheen that reflects the light as you can see in the photo. The nautilus, unlike whelks and other sea snails, is not a gastropod, but a cephalopod, and is more related to squids and octopuses. Living inside a protective shell, this intelligent octopus-like creature has up to ninety suckerless tentacles which propel it through the water. Its shell is smooth and tubular in structure and has evolved little since it came on the evolutionally  scene during the Ordovician Period (490-443mya). I am not sure what species our nautilus is, (there are only six living species left) but would be glad if you would contact us with your ideas. By the way, people who study mollusks  are known as malacologists. This nautilus shell will fit beautifully into a sea life diorama, science project, display or decoration. See our other sea shell reproductions, cephalopods or sea life and aquatic creatures to complete your project.     Thanks for visiting Collectible Wildlife Gifts, the leading provider of high-quality, lifelike animal Designs and gifts!
