AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The piece contains remains of ancient marine cephalopods that became trapped in marine sediment:
In the first image, a spiral-shaped specimen stands out. It is an ancestor of the ammonites.
Orthoceras (the elongated forms)
Dispersed throughout the piece are straight, pointed shapes that look like "bullets". They were cephalopods with straight shells that could reach several meters in length in some species
