Ammonite Fossil Plate
Devonian Period (410 to 360 Million Years Ago)
Ammonites and Orthoceras fossils are carved out and polished within a limestone matrix. The cephalopods have clearly delineated chambers of rich browns, creams, black, and ochre. Orthoceras and Ammonites are primitive members of the phylum cephalopoda and are the ancestral cousin of modern squid and octopus. Unknown excavation source; but other specimens of this size and color have confirmed provenance of the Sahara Desert of Eastern Morocco. Overall object dimensions: Width 14 inches x Height 12 inches; unknown weight.
