Coleoidea

Nautiloidea, whose members have a rigid outer shell for protection, the coleoids have at most an internal shell called cuttlebone or gladius that is used for buoyancy or as muscle anchorage. Some species, notably incirrate octopuses, have lost their cuttlebone altogether, while in some it has been replaced by a chitinous support structure. A unique trait of the group is the ability to edit their own RNA.[3]

The major divisions of Coleoidea are based upon the number of

Sepiida and sharply pointed teeth in Loliginidae and Oegopsida. The arms and/or tentacles of some oegopsid families have also evolved claw-like hooks.[4]

Evolutionary history

The earliest certain coleoids are known from the

Mississippian sub-period of the Carboniferous Period, about 330 million years ago. Some older fossils have been described from the Devonian,[5]
but paleontologists disagree about whether they are coleoids.
secondarily,[8][9] although it is more likely that Nectocaris represents an independent lineage within the Lophotrochozoa.[10]

By the Carboniferous, coleoids already had a diversity of forms, but the major radiation happened during the
