Ammonite & Orthoceras Shell Fossil Tile – Polished Black Slab (Auction 2026-06-05, Lot 134B)

$449.75

A large polished square stone tile densely packed with cross-sections of fossil ammonites, orthoceras, and other marine invertebrates, cut and polished to a smooth flat surface that reveals the intricate internal chambers and suture patterns of the ancient shells. The dark chocolate brown matrix contrasts beautifully with the lighter fossil sections, making this an equally effective decorative tile or display specimen. A striking example of the fossiliferous limestone quarried in the Atlas Mountain region of Morocco, widely used for both decorative and collecting purposes.
