Orthoceras Pairs – Cut and Polished

Polished Ammonite

Ammonites - Polished (Madagascar)

£25.00 – £75.00 ex VAT

Geocoma libanotica Brittle Star

£16.00 ex VAT

£8.00 – £15.00 ex VAT

We have cut and polish these orthoceras pairs from Morocco. These samples beutifully display the internal sections, making them both a useful educational specimen, as well as a striking addition to any collection. Orthoceras are ancient nautiloid cephalopods that existed during the mid-Ordivician period, around 370 million years ago. Nautiloids are known for their distinct spiral shell, while orthoceras possess a long, straight one instead. However, orthoceras shells still retain the distinct chambers, connected by a siphuncle and separated by walls called septa.

We offer these specimens in pairs of three different sizes and provide them in a polythene bag with information card.

Small: Approx 9cm

Medium: Approx 13cm

Large: Approx 17cm
