Help With Orthocone Identification.

[SDwyer]

Orthocones are a very broad category. I have combed through a lot of information trying to properly identify this fossil. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Also, any specifics about the nautilus would be nice. Thanks in advance for the collective knowledge.

This specimen is from the Devonian of Morocco. the straight nautiloids coming from Morocco are generally considered to be the genus Geisonoceras. Although there were other straight nautiloid genus found there. What you are calling a "Nautilus" is actually a Gonatite Ammonoid.
