« backGONIATITE
400 million years old
Rissani, near Erfoud, Morocco
A polished example of a fossil goniatite.
Not to be confused with their later relatives the ammonites, goniatites lived only in the seas of the Palaeozoic Era. They also had chambered shells but the suture lines (the divisions between the chambers) were less complex.
