MOROCCAN FOSSILS |
TOLL-FREE: 1-877-560-3466 |
|
The country of Morocco, located in northwest Africa, is rich with fossils such as ammonites, orthoceras, trilobites and dinosaur teeth. A portion of the Sahara Desert, which once was an ocean, is contained within Morocco and holds many remains of creatures that once inhabited the earth. Skilled artisans have taken great time and care to prepare and polish some of the fossils on this page, such as the Fossil nautiloids and select ammonites. Others such as the crinoids and fossil teeth are left in their natural state. The Dinosaur Store® staff hand selects ALL of the fossils from Morocco and only the finest specimens are accepted. |

Ammonites Ammonites were cephalopods, predatory marine mollusks, and shared many similarities with their modern relatives, the squid, octopus and chambered nautilus. The term ammonite refers to an extinct group of mollusks. These creatures along with dinosaurs, died out at the close of the Cretaceous period, about sixty five million years ago. The most frequently preserved portion of the ammonite is the hard shell. This shell served as protection for the soft tissue of the animal and also allowed the animal to achieve buoyancy in the marine environment in which it lived. |

| Gypsum has several variety names that are widely used in the mineral trade. "Selenite" is the colorless and transparent or translucent variety that shows a pearl like luster and has been described as having a moon like glow. The word selenite comes from the Greek for Moon and means moon rock. Another variety is a compact fibrous aggregate called "satin spar selenite." This variety has a very satin like look that gives a play of light up and down the fibrous crystals. | |

Fossil Nautiloids These squid-like mollusks were abundant in Paleozoic seas. Early nautiloids had straight, conical shells that were sealed off by internal walls as the animal grew bigger. Most nautiloids were swimming predators that used short tentacles to seize their prey. The Fossil Nautiloids shown here are in a black limestone matrix and have been polished. Slight color and pattern variations are to be expected because these are natural products and no two are alike. |
