Information

Fossil Devonian Fossil Marble originates from the Western Sahara Desert, southern east Morocco.

The Black Fossil stone is from a small enclave named Tazzerine.

The Brown Fossil stone is from the region of Erfoud, one of the outposts before the Sahara Desert waste stretch out southward, deep into the African Continent, both places reside in the province of Errachidia.

This resource was discovered commercially in the 1970s and has been producing fine Fossil Specimens since that time.

The Fossils Inclusions in the Black stone are predominately Orthoceras a type of Cuttle Fish, Marine invertebrate. The seas long ago teemed with these extraordinary creatures, reaching lengths up to approximately 1 meter in average; some animals even larger have been recorded.

The Brown stone contains the both Orthoceras and Ammonoids, which include Nautiloids and Ammonites.

Most of the creatures died out in a mass extinction some 74 million years ago, approximately the Campanian Epoch, from the Late Cretaceous Period of the Mesozoic Era. Some Ammonite Species have been recorded up to and over seven feet in diameter.
