Orthoceras Fossils 50cm

These remarkable orthoceras fossils are 395 - 440 million years old and noteworthy for their size and high level of detail.

Orthoceras were ancestors to the modern squid and swam by filling and emptying their shells with water, propelling them through the ancient seas.

It is these shells that you see here, skill fully excavated from the surrounding rock to reveal their graceful beauty. This specimen makes an arresting home ornament and a wonderful way to introduce children to the illustrious history of the world we live in.
