EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph showcases an exquisitely preserved Actinoceras sp. nautiloid fossil, captured by the skilled lens of Beatriz Aguirre-Urreta. Actinoceras is an extinct, long-shelled or orthoconic marine fossil invertebrate, belonging to the class Cephalopoda and the phylum Mollusca. The intricate spiral pattern and delicate ribbing on the shell are characteristic features of this ancient mollusc. Nautiloids, like Actinoceras, were among the first molluscs to develop complex, chambered shells, which allowed them to regulate buoyancy and control their depth in the water column. This adaptive innovation enabled them to occupy diverse ecological niches in the ancient oceans. The fossilized Actinoceras shell in this image is a testament to the rich marine biosphere that existed millions of years ago. Its preservation offers valuable insights into the morphology and evolutionary history of these fascinating cephalopods. Beatriz Aguirre-Urreta's photograph not only highlights the beauty of this ancient mollusc but also serves as a reminder of the incredible diversity and complexity of life that has existed on our planet throughout history.
