Description from the seller
This slab from the Atlas Mountains in Morocco offers a glimpse into marine life during the Devonian period, over 400 million years ago. Its surface is rich in fossils of Orthoceras, ancient relatives of squid that once reigned in the primordial seas.
Each Orthoceras has been expertly smoothed and polished to reveal its intrinsic beauty. The shells of these ancient marine predators have been meticulously prepared.
This slab is a journey through time. Each Orthoceras tells a story of a distant era, when the seas were ruled by extraordinary creatures. It is a testament to nature and its ability to preserve the past for future generations.
It's the perfect complement for paleontology enthusiasts, natural history enthusiasts, and those who want to add a touch of antiquity and wonder to their daily lives. Each Orthoceras fossil tells a millennia-old story, and this plate presents them in all their magnificence.
