Cephalopods are thought to be unable to live in fresh water due to multiple biochemical constraints, and in their >400 million year existence have never ventured into fully freshwater habitats. [10] Cephalopods occupy most of the depth of the ocean, from the abyssal plains to the sea surface, and have also been found in the hadal zone. [11]
The cephalopods have a long geological history, with the first nautiloids found in late Cambrian strata. [1]The class developed during the middle Cambrian, and underwent pulses of diversification during the Ordovician period [2] to become diverse and dominant in the Paleozoic and Mesozoic seas.

Cephalopods are very abundant and are larger in size than those found in the Kope Formation, because of the increase in food availability for these predators following the late Cambrian. [2] Cephalopods survived well in this time period because they were able to prey on the many gastropods and mollusks that are also found in this formation. [2]
Nautiluses are much closer to the first cephalopods that appeared about 500 million years ago than the early modern cephalopods that appeared maybe 100 million years later (ammonoids and coleoids). They have a seemingly simple brain, not the large complex brains of octopus, cuttlefish and squid, and had long been assumed to lack intelligence ...
A cephalopod is any member of the biological order Cephalopoda, the group that contains all squid, octopuses, and cuttlefish. This category covers articles about ...
Orthocerida, also known as the Michelinocerida, is an order of extinct orthoceratoid cephalopods that lived from the Early Ordovician) possibly to the Late Triassic 1] A fossil found in the Caucasus suggests they may even have survived until the Early Cretaceous 2] and the Eocene fossil Antarcticeras is sometimes considered a descendant of the orthocerids although this is disputed.
G. onyx is a very common cephalopod that is found in the Northern Pacific Ocean, ranging from coastal California to the east coast of Japan, and are found as far north as the Bering Sea. They are one of the most abundant cephalopods found in coastal California and are distributed with a latitude from 30°N to 43°N. [4]
