This is for an exquisite pair of large bookends made from fossilized ammonite and orthoceras, weighing a total of just over 11 lbs. The unique nautical sea theme adds a touch of elegance to any bookshelf or desk. The shape of the rock cuts are very unique and are cut to show off the specimens.
These have two sides, one with the rock / stone showing and the other with the fossils - orthoceras - ancient marine animals with a long straight conical shell. These small animals lived appros 400 -500 million years ago.
Originating from Morocco, these fossilized stone book holders are a collectible item perfect for those interested in rocks, fossils, and minerals. The intricate designs and sheer size of these bookends make them a striking statement piece for any book lover. One measures: 7 inches tall x 7 inches wide x 3.25 inches deep.
