The fossils commonly known as Orthoceras are extinct “straight-shelled” cephalopods that lived during the Upper Devonian period around 370 million years ago. They lived inside of their shell, had tentacles they could use to grab food and used jet propulsion, squirting water to move.
This is a top quality Large Orthoceras Specimen from Morocco. This Moroccan Orthoceras is polished to show their intricate internal growth patterns. The rock is a beautiful marble-like dolomite material. Exceptional detail.
6 Prehistoric Orthoceras in this specimen
We visited Morocco in 2017 and visited areas where Nomads dug for Dinosaur fossil were found but they were extremely difficult to find.
We visited the Orthoceras mining area and could see fossils in the black marble, but we only had pick and it was impossible to break or chip away as the marble was as tough like steel and needs to be cut out
Please note shipping
