RrzLmz Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) Good Morning All, My Father-in-Law recently purchased this at a Consignment shop and needs help identifying the fossils. I've browsed through several fossil pictures and I believe they are Belemnites, of course I'm no expert. Can any of you help us identify the fossils and give us any information on them? Thank You very much! Edited January 10, 2013 by RrzLmz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, also are remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. - Douglas Adams, Last Chance to See Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Yes, Moroccan cephalopods. There is quite the market for this sort of fossil-based art.
