2.2" Partial Cretaceous Fossil Fish Vertebrae in Rock - Morocco

This is a fossil fish vertebra from the Late Cretaceous phosphate deposits of Morocco.

It comes from the massive phosphate deposits in the Oulad Abdoun Basin near Khouribga, Morocco. These deposits are mined for phosphate, one of Morocco's biggest exports. The fossils are collected as a byproduct of the mining operations, saving them from certain destruction by the rock crusher.
