2.8" Early Devonian Ammonoid (Anetoceras) - Tazarine, Morocco
This is an stunning, 2.8" Early Devonian ammonoid cephalopod (Anetoceras) collected near Tazarine, Morocco. The orange coloration is natural and nearly all of the limestone has been removed from around it using air scribes. The base of the rock has been cut flat so that it stands up nicely without the need for a display stand.
About Anetoceras
Anetoceras is an early ammonoid cephalopod, first named by O.H. Schindewolf in 1934, that lived in the latter part of the Early Devonian period. It is distinguished by its loosely coiled, prominently ribbed shell, with the coiling occurring in a single plane so that the whorls are close together but do not touch. The shell’s ribs are narrow and widely spaced, adding to its distinct appearance and making it an important specimen for understanding early ammonoid evolution.
