Treasures in the Misfits and Oddments Event may have minor flaws such as:  irregular colors; bubbles in glass or resin; small chips; unusual size; naturally-occurring differences; a wrinkled label; or missing packaging.  Some were prototypes and others were used for product photography.

The fossils commonly known as Orthoceras are extinct "straight" cephalopods that lived around 370 million years ago. Like other cephalopods, they lived inside of their shells, had tentacles they could use to grab food, and used jet propulsion, squirting water to move.

Your fossil was quarried in Morocco.
