Baculites ("walking stick rock") is a genus of extinct marine animals in the phylum Mollusca and class Cephalopoda.
Baculites grew up to two meters long and are thought to have lived in a vertical orientation with the head hanging straight down.
From shell isotope studies, it is known that baculites inhabited the middle part of the water column, not too close to either the bottom or surface of the ocean.
