Primitive Orthoceras Fossil Cocktail Table – Devonian Limestone Slab on Wood Trestle Base
£1,800.00
This extraordinary coffee table features a massive, solid slab of prehistoric Devonian limestone sourced from the Erfoud region of Morocco, dating back approximately 350 to 400 million years.
The heavy, polished slab is naturally saturated with an abundance of highly visible prehistoric marine fossils. Sweeping across the dark earthy charcoal and deep terracotta stone matrix are prominent, elongated Orthoceras (extinct straight-shelled nautiloids) showing beautifully preserved chambered structures, alongside coiled Ammonites and ancient marine discs. The table boasts an incredible "live-edge" perimeter, left intentionally raw and chiseled to contrast brilliantly with the mirror-polished top surface.
The prehistoric top is supported by an architectural dark oak trestle wood base, allowing the ancient stone to take full visual priority.
Key Features:
- Origin: Erfoud, Sahara Desert, Morocco.
- Fossil Inclusions: Genuine Orthoceras (straight shells) and Ammonite (coiled shells) from the Devonian Period.
- Edge Profile: Hand-chiseled raw live-edge border with a premium high-gloss diamond-polished top.
- Base Construction: Sturdy, minimalist dark wood trestle legs engineered to safely support the substantial weight of the stone.
Condition Report:
Very good vintage condition. The fossil slab is completely intact with zero structural cracks, deep chips, or past repairs, there are just some minor light scratches. The natural geological inclusions are flawlessly preserved under the smooth, glossy top finish. The wooden base is structurally rigid, rock-solid, and shows only minor, age-appropriate handling marks underneath.
