Regarding Orthoceras

Orthoceras is the long cone-shaped one in the Orthoceras and ammonite fossil Stand. Orthoceras were sea creatures that existed between 200 and 400 million years ago.

They are the squid’s ancestor. At some time, there was a huge extinction catastrophe, and many of them died in a shallow water location that is now Morocco. Orthoceras They crept around the ocean floor as well as swam. When they perished, their shells dropped to the ocean floor. Years of sedimentation covered them, and they petrified into stone.
To swim, Orthoceras would fill their chambers (septas) with air and spray it out like a jet to propel themselves through the water!

Regarding Ammonites

Ammonites are represented by the Nautilus-shaped fossil in the Orthoceras and ammonite fossil Stand. Ammonites are related to contemporary squids, octopuses, and chambered nautiluses. Carnivores, ammonites were. They inhabit the same time period as Orthoceras. Some are much older than dinosaurs, and they were ocean predators.
