Paper Nautilus Shell
class Cephalopoda
back to Catch of the Day
The paper nautiluses, Argonauta sp., are not nautiluses at all, they are octopuses! The paper thin white calcareous 'shell' is actually an egg case made by females. These delicate 'shells' are prized rare finds to beach combers. Argonauts are found worldwide in tropical and semi-tropical waters but they are quite rare.
