MOROCCAN GONIATITES FOR SALE
Goniatites are close relative of ammonites: they share the same subclass Ammonoidea. These goniatites are Devonian in age (~380 million years old) and are quarried in large numbers from the Atlas Mountains of Morocco.
Goniatites possessed internally divided shells with gas-filled chambers for buoyancy. An open chamber at the front of the shell provided living space for the animal. The general morphology and habit of goniatites was probably similar to that of their later ammonite relatives: they were likely free swimming and possessing a head with two well-developed eyes and arms.
