invert-palaeo:The Giants - Part 3/11Cameroceras - an Ordovician, straight shelled nautiloid estimated to be between 6-8 m long. It can be a bit difficult to tell the exact length of extinct cephalopods due to a lack of soft part preservation, i.e. we know how long the shell is, but we have no idea how long the tentacles may have been.
