12.4" Plate of Three Devonian Ammonite (Anetoceras) Fossils - Morocco
This is a 12.4" wide specimen that contains three 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 are multiple naturally associated phacopid trilobite heads that have been prepped free from the limestone as well.
The largest ammonite is 4.8" 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.
