[identifying-nautiluses]

got really into nautili and im having fun identifying them :)) peer review of my identifications is very welcome, never be scared to reach out in any way

blog ran on queue, posts once a day (unless i forget). blog on indefinite hiatus, the hyperfixation left. sorry !! maybe ill get back to it at some point but not for the foreseeable future

blogrunner uses it/its + any neos (pref for neos)

if you want a link to click, go watch this awesome video :)) its genuinely one of my most favorite nautilus videos ever

blog navigation tags under the cut (some of them also tagged on this post, but not even close to all of them)

#identified #already identified - SPECIFICALLY in the body of the post. if its in the tags or in a link in the post ill still add my identification for clarity #not identification - selfexplanatory. will be mostly used for asks if i ever get some of those #uncertain id, and #corrections - selfexplanatory i think? always feel free to correct me, and ill be open when im wrong. whats the point in hiding it #added link - article/video links added whenever i feel like it

type of content in post:

#art #photo #video

policy on babies: they look all the same. im sorry i just cant tell them apart. i still want them on my blog but they wont be identified (tag for them: #babys). #not a real one is used mostly for depiction of a nautilus that gets too far away from reality for me to be able to discern it

all other identifications will be tagged w genus (nautilus/allonautilus) and species (latin name):

nautilus:

#n. belauensis - Palau Nautilus #n. macromphalus - Bellybutton Nautilus #n. pompilius - Chambered Nautilus #n. samoaensis - Nautilus samoaensis (doesnt have a common name) #n. stenomphalus - White-patch Nautilus #n. vanuatuensis - Nautilus vanuatuensis (doesnt have a common name) #n. vitiensis - Nautilus vitiensis (doesnt have a common name)

allonautilus:

Allonautilus perforatus doesnt have a common name, and is unlikely to ever appear here as we (the world) have not seen a live specimen of it yet. im listing it just for posterity #a. scrobiculatus - Crusty or Fuzzy Nautilus

Chambered Nautilus (Nautilus pompilius)

[tyrelpinnegar]

The specimen on the left is Nautilus pompilius.

The one on the right is Nautilus belauensis.

The confusion is understandable. The differences between the two species are subtle.

[identifying-nautiluses]

fair enough. id be curious what are the things you look for to differentiate them if u wouldnt mind sharing :)

Skull nautilus. I drew this idea back in 2015, and decided to revisit it now that I know skulls a little better

Nautilus samoaensis

[daily-cephalopod]

Do you have any favorite (or just favored) nautiluses (nautili?)? They are very fascinating to me but I don't know much about any of them

Alas, I believe the modern Nautilus is the only surviving member of the Nautilaceae family

But he's pretty!!!!
