Explore the layered, conical form of this Conophyton amantourartensis stromatolite fossil from the Upper Tachgagalt Formation, Ouarzazate Province, Morocco. Dating to the Late Neoproterozoic (Ediacaran, Precambrian), it records microbial activity in shallow marine environments and is presented with a Certificate of Authenticity. SKU: FP8570. This exposed shingle spit was a productive place to search on our visit, but the returning tide can cut off the route back. Check local tide times and conditions, and keep a safe way back.
