Each of these chunky, tail-up kitties is hand-carved from genuine Orthoceras fossil stone — a striking black marble filled with the fossilized remains of ancient sea creatures that swam the oceans over 400 million years ago. Those white rings, swirls, and cone shapes you see? They're real fossils, making every cat a one-of-a-kind piece of natural history you can hold in your hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Stone\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrthoceras fossil stone comes from the Atlas Mountains of Morocco, where prehistoric cephalopods — relatives of today's squid and nautilus — settled into ancient seabeds and fossilized over millions of years. When the stone is cut and polished, it reveals dramatic black-and-white patterns of fossilized shells, rings, and tentacle-like swirls. No two pieces are ever alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eChoose Your Cat\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach cat is individually numbered — select yours from the menu above:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCat 1\u003c\/strong\u003e — Approximately 7\" long, 3 lb 0.9 oz.
