Ammonites (Goniatities) &
Orthoceras specimens - Morocco
The Moroccan Devonian nautiloids are also amongst the oldest
cephalopods and are related to the modern day nautilus and squid. They were
abundant during the Paleozoic era in the sea some 350 MM years ago and now make
up the Atlas Mountain range of central Morocco. There are two nautiloids forms
present in the Moroccan Devonian sea. The Goniatites, an
extinct relative of the Ammonites, possessed an external shell, which is
has a spiral form of internal chambers. The Orthoceras
was straight shelled with the internal chambers. Typically very ornate and very
collectable fossils. The polished Moroccan
ammonites are very attractive with many colors and detailed internal chambers.
They make great gifts and can be used as collectable specimens, decorative
items, paper weights, fish tank displays, and much more. ***See additional Moroccan
fossil ammonites and stoneware at our new sister website "Fossil Treasure" @
