On a beach in the south of Sweden, we found loads of Orthoceras of all sizes. But one of them particularly was different. It didn't have a straight shell as the others, but it curled at the end. Can anyone help identify the species?

Some of the orthocones were coiled at the end of the shell. Try to google 'Lituites'.
