Nautilus pompilius
Nautilus pompilius is the scientific name for the chambered nautilus. Nautilus is how the ancient Romans referred to this animal (the word is related to the Latin word for "sailor", nauta, which was borrowed from Greek nautes). Pompilius is from pompilus, a word meaning "pilot-fish" that the Romans also sometimes applied to the nautilus.
Nautilus pompilius, commonly known as the Chambered Nautilus, feeds on fishes, crabs and carrion (decaying animals). Its eyes are primitive, so it detects food with its sense of smell.

THE NAUTILUS
nautilus
A mollusk's exoskeleton is composed of chitin (a component of the exoskeleton of most animals) and conchiolin which is a form of calcium carbonate (present in snail shells). These complex proteins are secreted by the mantle layer present right below the shell and hardens over time as the creature grows.
