Here is a nice set of brown Orthoceras bookends from Morocco. The bookends have been cut, carved and polished from Fossil Rock material to expose the unique fossils. This set measures 5 3/4″ wide x 4 5/8″ tall x 2 1/4″ thick and has a good polish on the fossil surfaces. Since they are fossils, they can sometimes have small pieces missing but overall are very intact. The bookends make great decorator pieces as well as super collectibles for the fossil hunter.

Orthoceras is a genus of extinct Nautiloid Cephalopod. These fossils are common and have a global distribution which occur in any marine rock, especially Limestone. These are slender, elongated shells with the middle of the body chamber transversely constricted and a sub-central orthochoanitic siphuncle. The surface is ornamented by a network of fine lirae or fine lines/ridges.
