Orthoceras
The Orthoceras was a shelled 'squid-like' nautiloid. They could grow up to 4 metres long and were one of the first great marine carnivores capable of swimming freely. They had a real head with a central brain and large salivary glands.
Today's nautilus is a direct descendant of the Nautiloid, while octopus and squid are indirect descendants.
