Description

Goniatite Sculpture
Goniatites
Devonian
Altas Mountains, Morocco
7.87 x 2.17 x 7.09 inches (20.00 x 5.50 x 18.00 cm)

This sculptural piece is definitely a piece of natural art but has equal appeal as a fine specimen. Here a chambered Ammonite is attached to a polished base with its own fossil preservation. The chambers of the Ammonite have been carved out along the complex suture lines - a diagnostic characteristic of this variety of ancient marine cephalopod. This fossil sculpture simply looks cool and would accentuate any decor.
