Orthoceras were ancient marine cephalopods that lived in prehistoric oceans around 400 million years ago. Their long, straight shells became naturally preserved within sedimentary rock over millions of years, creating the remarkable fossil patterns seen in each plaque today.
-
Orthoceras fossils are best treated gently to help preserve their natural fossilised details and polished surface.
Clean gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth.
Dry thoroughly after cleaning.
Avoid prolonged soaking or leaving the dish in water.
Avoid harsh chemicals, acidic cleaners and abrasive products.
Do not use rough sponges or scrub the fossil surface.
Handle carefully, particularly around the edges of the dish.
Avoid dropping onto hard surfaces, as the fossil material can chip or crack.
Keep away from prolonged exposure to moisture and humid environments where possible.
Natural variations, markings, textures and small imperfections are part of the character of a genuine fossil and make each piece unique.
