1.5-2" Polished Goniatite Collectable Fossil (SINGLE UNIT)

Polished Goniatite Fossil (1.5-2 inches).

Dive into the ancient oceans with this exquisite polished Goniatite fossil, a stunning testament to the Earth’s prehistoric past. This authentic Goniatite fossil, belonging to the extinct order Goniatitida, originates from the Devonian period, approximately 390–400 million years ago, and is sourced from the fossil-rich Atlas Mountains of Morocco. Expertly polished and shaped into a round or oval "button," this Moroccan fossil showcases the intricate, ribbed spiral patterns of its coiled shell, characteristic of its distinctive suture lines. These sutures, with their simple, wavy patterns compared to the more complex ammonites, make Goniatites a fascinating study for paleontology enthusiasts. Common species like Manticoceras or Tornoceras are often found in these Moroccan deposits, known for their tightly coiled, chambered shells used for buoyancy in ancient seas.

Goniatites were free-swimming cephalopods, closely related to modern squid and octopuses, thriving in Devonian marine ecosystems alongside trilobites and early fish. Their shells, filled with gas chambers, allowed them to float and navigate prehistoric oceans. Measuring 1.5–2 inches in diameter, this polished Goniatite is perfect for fossil collectors, paleontology enthusiasts, or anyone captivated by ancient fossils. Its compact size makes it ideal for desk displays, classrooms, or as a unique paleontology gift or stocking stuffer.
