So like please don’t buy nautilus shells they’re actually going extinct, largely because we kill them for their shells. They’re really cool little dudes but they’re not recognized as endangered because we “don’t know enough about them”, despite it being pretty clear to anyone who works with them, scientist or fisherman. Near nobody knows about this, so please be kind to these little guys and maybe spread the word?
if you want a nautilus shell, buy an ammonite fossil!
They’re gorgeous, come in a lot of sizes and shapes, and you can even get opalized, agatized, or pyritized versions!
