Ailanna Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 I recently bought some small hematized goniatites from Morocco. They are each under 25mm and fully hematized. The two on the right look to be the same species, while the left specimen is wider in girth and has simpler sutures. They are probably too worn to have distinctive keels, but I've posted a photo of the keels anyway. Any thoughts on identification? I wasn't able to find a good source online for identifying goniatites to family or genus. Thank you for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manticocerasman Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Tornoceratids? It will be hard to tell more if we don't now the exact age of those :/ 1 growing old is mandatory but growing up is optional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I know that's not very helpful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidgy's Dad Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 There are absolutely loads of these little goniatites preserved in pyrite from the Devonian of Morocco. I have several myself and found one in February near Erfoud. But I have no idea as to what species they all are, I need to do a lot more reading. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend.
