Two Devonian Ammonites (Anetoceras) Fossils - Tazarine, Morocco

Here are two complete, Early Devonian ammonites (Anetoceras) collected near Tazarine, Morocco. The ammonites have been painstakingly prepared from the hard limestone matrix that they were found.

The largest ammonite is 3" wide. The base of the rock is cut flat so that it stands up on a flat surface without the need for 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.
