Item Description

GIANT Newly Mined Hans Polished Fossilized Multi Million Year Old North African

Found in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco, Orthoceras are an extinct Nautiloid cephalopod that lived from the Ordovician Period to the Triassic Period (500 – 200 million years ago). They thrived during the Silurian Period (about 420 million years ago) when the various species evolved into other cephalopods such as the Ammonite and Nautiloid trilacinoceras. They are also ancestors of the modern day squid and octopus and the fact that we find their fossilized remains on the border of the Sahara Desert is just one piece of evidence that what is now a desert was once a prehistoric ocean, teeming with strange and unusual life.

This is the PERFECT “Gift” for the Man, Woman or Child that “has everything”...
