These 2 large ammonite fossils swam in ancient oceans sometime between 415 million and 65 million years ago. They are beautifully fossilized, unpolished and uncut. Which makes them so much more special to us. They are exactly how they were excavated many years ago. Ammonites are commonly found in sedimentary rock formations, and paleontologists often search for them in quarries, mines, and other areas where the rock is exposed.
Both have been excavated from Agadir, Morocco. Agadir is a city located on the southwestern coast of Morocco, and it is not known for having extensive fossil deposits. However, some notable fossils that have been found in the vicinity of Agadir were the Agadiraurus, a sauropod dinosaur that lived during the Early Cretaceous period, about 170 million years ago. In addition, ammonites such as these have been found, bivalves, as well as other fossils of marine reptiles such as plesiosaurs and mosasaurs.
Dimensions of the ammonites:
• Weight: 650g, width: 3.7 inches, height: 4.3 inches, thickness: 2 inches.
• Weight: 850g, width: 3.8 inches, height: 4.5 inches, thickness: 2 inches.
