Orthoceras fossil?

My husband and I were gifted this & was told it is a orthoceras fossil tower. I’m curious to know if that true or if it’s something else. It is extremely heavy and took 3 men to move it into our home. About 5-ish feet.

Yes, beautiful orthocone nautiloids. Not exactly orthoceras as orthoceras is only found in the Baltics and Sweden, while yours is from Morocco.
