These Mid-Ordovician Period, 470 - 458 million year old, fossils are exposed and have been given a high polish to better view these extinct squid-like creatures from their surrounding matrix. The slab features very high relief as well as dramatic texture and detail. As these forms of prehistoric squid were covered in ocean sediments prior to fossilization, the majority of the creatures will be facing in the same relative position having been lined up by currents on the sea floor prior to being buried. Rather than being one of the common 'tourist' composites typically offered in the market, this is a 100% authentic heavy fossil rock slab loaded with these beautiful prehistoric sea squid. Large Prehistoric squid grouping fossil on ancient sea floor fragment, Orthoceras sp., Anti-Atlas Mountains. Both slabs together weigh 16 pounds. One measures 11in x 9in and the other is 11in x 14in.
