Lot 1206
Large Ammonite Grouping From Morocco. This large 20x22" stone slab contains four nearly-comlete Goniatites sp. ammonites plus one partial 11" long orthoceras. These polished and detailed ammonites are over 375 million years old from the Atlas Mountains near Tamud, Morocco. The largest goniatite is 12x9" and complete with its curved chambers (like those found in the chambered nautilus), as well as its complete living chamber. The nautilus-like animal lived in the last large chamber of the shell and constantly added new chambers as it grew larger. Most of the closed chambers are a light gray color, with defined walls, and the living chamber is black. There is also a 8½x6" ammonite without its living chamber, as well as two smaller 6½" and 5½" ammonites of the same species. This large grouping would make a beautiful display. Allow $150 for domestic shipping.
Estimated Value $500 - 750.
