Orthoceras fossils really inspire the imagination. They were fearsome hunters. Their head grew tentacles and they had a sharp beak in the center of their mouth.
The crystallized chambers make a bright contrast to the dark black or brown matrix that surrounds the fossil. This limestone matrix is literally filled with fossils.
Moroccan craftsmen create stoneware, bookends, plaques, and sculptures to show off the fossils. You can also buy polished orthoceras as jewelry or in several sizes as single specimens.
