Round Moroccan Ammonoid Fossil Plate

This plate is carved from a genuine, Moroccan ammonoid. You'll love the beautiful and unique patterns in black, cream and grey colors that it shows off. 

Ammonoids are a group of extinct marine mollusks that lived more than 400 million years ago. Due to its spiral shape that resembles rams horns, Pliny the elder called fossils of these animals "horns of Ammon", because the egyptian god Ammon was typically depicted wearing rams horns. 

Each plate will be different and will vary in size, color, and pattern, from the ones shown here.

Brought from the Saharan desert in Morocco, sold exclusively at Jamali Garden.
