Moroccan fossil plate with ammonites and squids

A fossil slab from Morocco with ammonites and cephalopod fossils. A paleontological multi-organism composition from the Devonian Atlas deposit.

The combination of ammonites plus cephalopods documents a specific marine depositional episode in the Devonian sea approximately 410 to 350 million years ago. Both groups of cephalopods lived simultaneously and are found in the same sediment layer.

Moroccan Atlas deposits typically show goniatite ammonites together with Orthoceras cephalopods, a classic Devonian cephalopod fauna. The polished slab cross-section vividly brings out both types of organisms.

The flat thickness is suitable for wall mounting or display on a pedestal system. The visible surface shows several parallel organism cross-sections.
