A famous and very large fossil deposit of these animals known by the species ORTHOCERAS can be found in Morocco, North Africa.  Hundreds of millions of years ago, as they died, their shells accumulated in great numbers on the sea floor where they were aligned by currents, buried by sediments, and transformed over the ages into stone.  Today, this prehistoric sea floor is ironically, found in the dramatic Atlas Mountain Range in southern Morocco at the northern fringe of the Sahara Desert.
The pictures do not really capture the beauty of this piece. This is a sculpture that will really attract attention and get great complements
