Ross14 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Hi guys, Here I am with the second fossil that I would like to identify . I am thinking about a cerithium but I am absolutely not sure... I purchased this fossil about 30 years ago when I was a little child and I don't have any other information on it. Could you help me, please? Thank you very much Alessio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coco This is a common misconception, the genus orthoceras is only found in Europe and northern Asia and this looks Moroccan . It's probably Geisenoceras... 2 “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coco Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 1 hour ago, WhodamanHD said: Ceci est une idée fausse, le genre orthoceras ne se trouve en Europe et en Asie du Nord et cela semble marocain. Il est probablement Geisenoceras ... It is the first time I read this genus, thanks for the information It has been more than 30 years since I heard the name which I gave for these fossils of Morocco...
