Discover the preserved remains of ancient marine creatures with these authentic Orthoceras fossils, naturally embedded in black limestone and expertly extracted from fossil-rich regions of Morocco. These extinct cephalopods lived around 400 million years ago during the Paleozoic Era and are considered some of the earliest known relatives of today’s squid and octopus.
Orthoceras fossils are instantly recognizable by their elongated, conical shell, often segmented into visible chambers. These striking fossils are frequently found in polished slabs or as individual specimens, revealing stunning contrast between the pale fossil and the dark limestone matrix that encases it.
Each piece is unique in size, shape, and preservation, making it a fascinating addition to any fossil collection, museum display, or educational setting. Orthoceras fossils are also popular in home decor and are sometimes polished into obelisks, dishes, or decorative tiles due to their natural beauty and historical value.
