Thoughts on this fossil?

I have had this for afew years, does anybody have any ideas what it could be?

I'm not sure where it's from originally, but the shape looks pretty unusual.

orthoconic nautiloid.

 

(My apologies: I do not know UK geology very well to pinpoint the species ID, but it is a very nice one. I certainly wouldn't leave it behind!).

I agree! That is an orthoconic cephalopod, showing the phragmocone. Pretty nice one. :)
