Newly published research by the University of Reading concludes that Pohlsepia mazonensis, the fossilized remains listed by Guinness World Records as the earliest known octopus, belong instead to a relative of a nautilus, a cephalopod with both tentacles and a shell. —AP, April 10, 2026

 

Octopus, not a pus.

Octopus, nautilus.
