Although these extinct chambered Nautilus could reach lengths of 10 feet this is a rare size to find, on the whole these fossils are found exceeding no larger than 3 inches approximately which makes this a lovely large fossil of its type. The vibrant colours which separate the chambers is superb. An overall great fossil with a nice display look.
