8.5" GONIATITE Ammonite FOSSIL Morocco plus fossil imprints! 350 MYO
Description
This is a whole and extremely well preserved Goniatite ammonite fossil from Morocco.
It will stand up by itself, and there are tiny Ammonite fossils imprinted on the shell at least 6, plus at least 8 Orthoceras (long squid like creatures) on the shell (see last TWO photos circled in red.)
The ammonite is 8.5".  This weighs 4 lbs 11oz, or 2.12 kilos.
This will be great to display!
The ammonite's shell has been replaced by black and white marble.
Goniatites are ammonites with a distinctive goniotitic zig-zag pattern in the sutures that mark the spiraling growth of the shell. The extinct ammonite that decended from Nautiloids is an example of the remarkable symmetry often found in nature.
Mineral exchange over the eons can create an amazing array of contrasting colors and the beautiful natural display you see here. Ammonites were Cephalopods sharing a common ancestor with the squid and octopus that appeared in the Devonian and disappeared with the dinosaurs at the end of the Cretaceous period.
A great specimen, fantastic learning tool, and wonderful conversation piece to display.
This comes from Morocco.
Fantastic as a collector's specimen! It is 350 million years old!
A STUNNING FOSSIL AND A PIECE OF ANCIENT HISTORY.
