12.4" Plate of Ammonite (Anetoceras) Fossils and a Trilobite - Morocco
This is an 12.4" wide specimen that contains two complete Early Devonian ammonites (Anetoceras), quarried in the Anti-Atlas Region of Morocco. The ammonites have been painstakingly prepared from the hard limestone matrix that they were found. There is a naturally associated, partially enrolled phacopid trilobite that has been prepped free from the limestone, along with the segments and the head of a trilobite adjacent to the largest ammonite.
The largest ammonite is 5.2" wide. Comes with a display stand.

Ammonites were predatory cephalopod mollusks that resembled squids with spiral shells. They are more closely related to living octopuses, though their shells resemble that of nautilus species. True ammonites appeared in the fossil record about 240 million years ago during the Triassic Period. The last lineages disappeared 65 million years ago at the end of the Cretaceous.
