Orthoceras Nautiloid Plate. This extremely large 20 x 13.5 inch black slate plate contains more than 20 complete light gray Orthoceras nautiloids which were something like armored squid with a shell covering their body and a number of tentacles extending out from the bottom of the shell. They range in size from 2-5 inches and are a lovely light gray color with excellent detail of the chambers that make up their shell. Orthoceras was a straight nautiloid something like an ammonite that has been straightened out. These nautiloids are 385 million years old from the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. They have been polished with their light gray color nicely contrasting with the black slate matrix.
