Processing of cuttlefish in Indonesia for export or household needs only uses the body, including the meat to the head, on the other hand, the cuttlebone is categorized as a byproduct of processing waste. Therefore, estimates of cuttlebone resulting from this process are very abundant. This study aims to examine the physicochemical of cuttlebone (Sepia sp.) and their utilization. The results showed that morphologically, the cuttlebone was composed of 40% dorsal structure and 60% lamellar structure, and the dorsal structure consisted of phragmacone and proostracum. The cuttlebone is composed of a septum and pillars. Proximate content (dry basis) and heavy metal content of cuttlebone, namely 89,61% ash content, 0,35% lipid, 4,78% protein and 5,26% carbohydrates, heavy metal content of cadmium 0,6 mg/kg while lead and negative mercury. Macro mineral content (calcium, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus) is 40,18%, micro minerals (manganese, iron, zinc, sodium) 0,73%. The absorption of cuttlebone functional groups identified elements of CaCO 3 aragonite, β chitin in lamellar and a chitin in the dorsal structure.
