The Pearly Nautilus (Nautilus Pompilius) is the only living representative of a unique form of cephalopod, recorded in fossils for over 500 million years. The shell, pearly and beautifully colored, is spirally formed and consists of a series of chambers separated by curved cross plates thus exemplifies the "chambered shell". The nautilus is a bottom feeder on Crustaceans, usually in deep water.
