Description from the seller

Two decorative stone plaques adorned with various fossils, mainly ammonites and a belemnite fragment.
Ammonites: extinct marine cephalopod mollusks related to modern nautiluses.
The large ammonite in the center features a polished section revealing the internal chambers and complex suture lines + Orthoceras.
The long conical shape is a fossil of a belemnite, another type of extinct cephalopod.
These fossils generally date from the Mesozoic era, which includes the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods.

The smallest one is polished, the other has a relief.
