The chambered nautilus, scientifically known as Nautilus pompilius or the common nautilus, is a fascinating creature that can be found in various parts of the world. One such place is Oregon, USA, where a close-up image of a chambered nautilus cut in half reveals its intricate internal structure. In Papua New Guinea's Milne Bay, an incredibly rare hairy nautilus was discovered trapped in 80 meters of water. Thankfully, it was later released 20 meters down a drop-off to ensure its safety. This unique encounter highlights the beauty and diversity of marine life in this region. Belonging to the Orders of Molluscs, the chambered nautilus possesses an exquisite shell that has captivated scientists and collectors alike for centuries. The renowned naturalist Hans Sloane even had his own collection featuring several stunning these shells. Indonesia is another location where one can find these magnificent creatures thriving in their natural habitat. With their spiral-shaped shells and distinctive patterns they can truly a sight to behold. The repeated mention of Hans Sloanes' collection emphasizes just how significant these shells have been throughout history – not only for scientific study but also for their aesthetic appeal.
