Orthoceras - $12 each
From Morocco
I have some very well preserved, crisp, clear Orthoceras fossils!
Orthoceras were Cephalopods and lived over 450 million years ago, they are related to modern day squid, octopus and cuttlefish.
What you are seeing is a cross section of the hard, segmented cone shaped shell, the soft tissue doesn't fossilise. The line running down the middle is called a siphuncle and helps maintain the animals depth in the water column. The black area is polished natural matrix.
Collection is welcome from the Hibiscus Coast
