A large ammonite in good condition from the mountains in North Africa, perfect to add a touch of the ocean to any bathroom.

A part polished piece of granite from the Atlas Mountains with one ammonite and orthoceras set onto the self standing plaque.

A lovely colourful fossil with clear tree rings and wonderfully preserved natural crevices inherent in the timber.

A selection of orthoceras fossils with a particularly lovely large crystalline specimen in a partly polished granite bedrock.

A super colourful opalised, fossilised ammonite with pale iridescent colours across the outer surface, remnants from the shell of this extinct cephalopod.

A full length slender orthoceras fossil, unusual in that the head area is visible too. There are also several other smaller preserved orthoceras in this part polished specimen.

A super colourful opalised, fossilised ammonite with pale iridescent colours across the outer surface.

A stunning piece of marinace granite with several really good examples of orthoceras embedded within. Part polished to highlight the fossils, this is a stunning artefact carved from an ancient sea bed, that is now located high up in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco.

A stunning single orthoceras specimen with a curved base so it stands upright to display this huge fossil full of crystal formations in each body cavity. A really lovely piece.

A beautifully preserved ammonite, fossilised in the sediments of seabeds that now form a part of the Atlas Mountains. The opalisation is a natural part of the shell of the ammonite much like the inner of a paua shell.

A beautifully preserved ammonite, showing its natural nacre or mother of pearl, a form of aragonite within the ammonite shell.

A simple egg shaped orthoceras fossil in granite matrix. Very beautiful and tactile.

An orthoceras egg with a beautifully preserved fossil specimen within the natural granite matrix.

An orthoceras granite egg containing several ancient fossils within the natural matrix.

A wonderful orthoceras fossil, beautifully polished on one side to highlight all the amazing preserved detail of this extinct cephalopod.

A single goniatite ammonite fossil which stands beautifully to display the superb detail in these ancient remains.

A selection of goniatites with really detailed body form and chamber structure. I love the monochrome pattern of these extinct ammonites and their ability to be displayed upright without a stand.

A large orthoceras fossil in a granite matrix from Morocco. This piece has been cleverly cut to create a stand at the back and is polished on the front to really highlight this extinct sea creature and all the smaller fossil specimens surrounding it.
