AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Lot composed of two important polished fossil plate sets from Morocco, displaying several orthoceratid cephalopods clearly visible in a brown-gray calcareous matrix.
The two pieces offer different and complementary compositions, with several long sections of straight and chambered shells as well as transverse sections that are particularly decorative.
The polishing well highlights the internal structures of the fossils and creates a beautiful contrast between the light parts and the brown matrix.
With a total weight of over 3.6 kg, this set constitutes an imposing lot, suitable for both a paleontological collection and for decorative display or a cabinet of curiosities.
The orthoceratids were marine cephalopods now extinct, characterized by a straight, chambered shell.
The pieces show the irregularities, cracks and natural variations inherent to this type of fossil rock and to its preparation.
