CLASS CEPHALOPODA Subclass Nautiloidea Order Nautilida

Nautilida are pelagic animals and often have a wide distribution. Their dead chambered shells can drift far from the habitat of the living animal. In the past palaeontologists have rarely taken this into consideration, so there is a proliferation of names, most of which will prove to be synonyms when researchers evaluate material from many parts of the world. Australian taxa will be no exception to this, and it is unlikely that any of them will prove to be endemic, as has been shown already with some species of Aturia .
