Cuttlefish bone or cuttlebone is the center bone of a squidlike mollusk. You’ve probably seen cuttlebones at your local pet store hanging in birdcages for the birds to sharpen their beaks. The chalklike material (calcium carbonate) has a thin, hard surface on one side and a soft crust on the other, making it ideal for direct casting, one of the earliest known casting processes. In direct casting, molten metal directly fills a design carved into a mold surface, producing a mirror image of the design in the finished cast object
