Orthoceras fossil tower, large fossil cephalopod

Orthoceras tower specimen from Morocco, with a flat bottom so it will stand on its own.

As seen in these pictures, Orthoceras fossils are often found in a black limestone matrix, with the soft tissues of the ancient squid-like creature replaced with calcite.

The one pictured is exactly the specimen you will receive. It is about 7” tall and weighs just over 2.5 lbs.
