Description: These round plates are carved from polished fossil limestone with several orthoceras and coiled ammonoid fossils across the surface. These plates are a guaranteed conversation starter. They are safe to use for serving food but also make a great statement piece to be displayed in any home.
This is a worked, decorative fossil stone. It is cut from Moroccan cephalopod limestone of the kind carved around Erfoud, with straight-shelled orthoceras sections. The coiled shells look like goniatites, Paleozoic relatives of the ammonites that are older than the dinosaurs. Decorative pieces like this are often assembled from more than one stone, so they are best enjoyed as fossil stone décor rather than as a single natural fossil bed.
