Minnesota PaleoWeb: Cephalopods Minnesota PaleoWeb Ordovician Gallery > Cephalopods Fossil cephalopods are extinct ancestors of today's squid, octopus, and chambered nautilus. A good web resource on living cephalopods is Dr. James Wood's Cephalopod Page . The large channel running the length of the animal is the siphuncle, through which a liquid was pumped to aid in buoyancy. The mechanism of the modern Nautilus involves pumping blood through a strand of tissue running the length, changing an osmotic gradient against the surrounding salt water, and releasing gases into the emptying chamber. The animal can achieve neutral buoyancy in relation to the surrounding water. The separate chambers are septum. It may be that Ordovician cephalopods had no predators early on, except possibly other cephalopods, and were among the largest invertebrates during the Ordovician. With the arrival of large fish in the Devonian, they must have faced new competition in their position at or near the top of the food chain. Following is a series of pictures involving my reconstruction of a highly fragmentary cephalopod, probably an Endoceras. I did this strictly for personal reward certainly not for profit. I realize this is somewhat eccentric today, but people did this sort of thing before succumbing passively to radio, television and the internet. A friend of mine and I discovered it in abandoned quarry in Goodhue County in October 1998. It wasn't an accident we were looking for fossils in this region. The quarry sat at the edge of a farm field, and was excavated to a level a few meters below the surface soil and glacial till.

Introduction to Cephalopods New Nov 2006: 33 MB video (which takes a while to download even on a fast connection but is worth it) of a Octopus macropus escaping out of a 2.5 cm hole . This is part of Ray Deckel's fall independent research project at BIOS Many cephalopods, the group in which scientists classify octopuses, squid, cuttlefish and nautiluses, can change color faster than a chameleon. They can also change texture and body shape, and, and if those camouflage techniques don't work, they can still "disappear" in a cloud of ink, which they use as a smoke-screen or decoy. Cephalopods are also fascinating because they have three hearts that pump blue blood, they're jet powered, and they're found in all oceans of the world, from the tropics to the poles, the intertidal to the abyss. Cephalopods have inspired legends and stories throughout history and are thought to be the most intelligent of the invertebrates. Some cephalopod species can squeeze through the tiniest of cracks. They have eyes and other senses that rival those of humans. Cephalopods can do all these things and more.

And, if you did know this, why the frick didn't you tell me (except for my friend rob, who did tell me about itthanks rob!) Apparently, there is a "tradition" that during Detroit playoff games, fans fling octopuses onto the ice after a goal is scored for good luck. I know, this is confounding. But apparently in 1952 two brothers who owned a fish market threw out the first octopus onto the ice, because they made the (totally natural) connection that the eight tentacles of the octopus symbolized the eight wins it would take to get the Stanley Cup. Now the Redwings have Al the Octopus mascot, and here is some information from Al's Wiki page (I knowkids! don't quote wikipedia in your book reports!): "The Octopus was eventually named 'Al' (after Joe Louis Arena building operations manager Al Sobotka), and every playoff year since, Al the Octopus gets raised to the rafters, when the Red Wings skate out onto the ice. As the years went on some modifications were made to Al, such as making it so his pupils light up red (blinking on and off), the adding of a large Red Wing Jersey to his body, and the removal of a tooth in order to give Al that "hockey player" look." I love the fact that there was probably a whole meeting devoted to how to make a totally made up purple octopus have a more "hockey player" look. And then they were like, "Oh yeah, let's make his eyes blink on and off! Like real hockey players!"

Links Biology The name Cephalopoda literally means "head feet" and refers to the fact that these animals have a foot (actually a cluster of tentacles) directly abutting their head. The group includes cuttlefish, octopi, squid, the pearly nautilus, and a large number of ancient (mostly Paleozoic and Mesozoic) forms. All are active marine predators (although some early types were drifters), able to swim swiftly, and easily competing with fish in the marine habitat. There are 650 living species, but more than 7,500 fossil forms are known (and as in all cases like this this number is obviously a gross underestimate of the real number of Cephalopod species that have ever lived through the Phanerozoic time). Like fish they are equipped with highly developed eyes and other sense organs, include both active swimmers and bottom-dwellers, and in many cases have a streamlined body for more efficient locomotion. Swimming is by rapidly expelling water from the mantle cavity. The water is forced out through a funnel or siphon - the

Octopuses and squids, despite their many admirable qualities, are apparently not considered convenient model organisms for the study of aging. depressed . The last common ancestor of humans and octopuses very likely had nothing more than a ganglion or two, and certainly nothing resembling the large brains of the extant modern species, so we have an example of analogous structures whose specifics evolved independently (ditto for the eyes of vertebrates and cephalopods). Hence octopus brains allow us to study comparative evolution of brains: What is required for the function of a brain? What inherent similarities and differences exist between independently evolved large brains, and do the similarities explain common syndromes like depression? Back to my favorite subject: Do cephalopod brains suffer from neurodegenerative diseases as a function of aging, and do they share with mammalian brains the greater sensitivity of neurons to protein aggregation? But I digress. I promised you a paper about cephalopod aging, and I shall deliver. In 2002, Anderson

The word cephalopod means “head footed,” and the animals are so named because the arms surround the mouth. Cephalopods are highly evolved animals in terms of structure and physiology, and the complexity of their behavior is equal to that of fish. Ecologically successful, they are among the more common predators in the sea; in turn they are eaten by many other animals, including humans. Giant squid, which can weigh as much as 2,000 kg (4,000 lb), are the largest of all invertebrates. About 650 species of cephalopod are known. The class is an ancient one, first appearing in the fossil record during the Cambrian period, about 600 million years ago. Primitive cephalopods, like other mollusks, had large external shells, but these were gradually reduced as the animals grew faster and more active. The remaining primitive cephalopod, the nautilus, retains many archaic traits, such as an external shell with gas-filled chambers that aid flotation. The front of the nautiloid body protrudes from the opening of the shell and bears many suckerless arms. Below the head is a mantle cavity with four gills; a funnel around its opening ejects water to provide weak jet propulsion. The eyes lack lenses, and the nervous system is fairly simple. Prey is grasped with the tentacles and can be bitten with the mouth's sharp beak.

"Octopuses typically live in lairs with restrictive openings to protect them from predators," he said, "and every time they enter or leave their 'house,' they squeeze through small holes or crevices." These undersea Houdinis' other escape skills include jet power (the animals suck in water and shoot it out a special tube) and an ink spray, which can leave octopuses' archenemies (including eels, seals, whales, dolphins, and sharks) in the dark.

Among known cephalopods are the octopus, squid, cuttlefish, nautilus, and extinct ammonites . All cephalopods are capable of swimming by jet propulsion and have mobile tentacles for catching prey. The cephalopod eye (see octopus eye ), with its well-developed retina comparable to that of vertebrates, provides a remarkable example of convergent evolution All cephalopods live in the sea and have soft bodies not divided into segments. They belong in the phylum Molluska Cephalopod body structure Like all mollusks , cephalopods have an outside layer of skin, called the mantle, which surrounds the internal organs. The shell is usually secreted inside the mantle. In octopuses it is represented by a pair of small rods or a thin plate. In cuttlefish it is better developed, and forms a calcareous, shield-shaped object familiar as the canary's cuttlebone or sea-biscuit. Squid shells are made of chitin Cephalopods differ from other mollusks in having a distinct head, marked off from the rest of the body by a narrower "neck". The mantle does not cover the head. It stops at the neck and there forms a loose fold called the
