Paleorunner Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 I bought it from the same seller, the solitary horn coral that had no information. Sold as Goniatites, from Morocco, If I'm not mistaken it's some kind of Manticoceras, but which ? Can anyone recognize it? @Manticocerasman @Tidgy's Dad It is 22 centimeters long 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Nice sizeable specimen. Devonian goniatite from Southern Morocco but I'm not sure about anything more specific, I'm afraid. 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goniatita del Devónico del sur de Marruecos pero no estoy seguro de nada más específico, me temo. Thank you very much Adam. With your answer we already have something good to start with. Let's see if there is luck, and someone puts his name on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manticocerasman Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 (edited) the suture lines concur with gephuroceratids like Manticoceras. But I won't go further than Manticoceras sp. It is impossible to id a polished specimen up to species level. Also 22cm is very big for a Manticoceras.but not impossible. Edited June 2, 2022 by Manticocerasman 1 growing old is mandatory but growing up is optional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
