Morocco · Marble
also known as Erfoud Brown, Moroccan Fossil Marble, Orthoceras Marble
A dramatic dark fossil stone from the Moroccan desert near Erfoud, dense with the preserved forms of ancient orthoceras and ammonites. Each slab records a sea that vanished hundreds of millions of years ago; no two are alike. A statement surface for tables, vanities and feature walls.
Type-level physical facts shown. Per-lot lab values (absorption, flexural strength) confirmed at quotation.
Mostly orthoceras and ammonites, marine creatures preserved when the Sahara was an ocean; the polished surface reveals their cross-sections in pale relief against the dark stone.
