Echos of the Ancient Seas: Exploring Orthoceras Fossils

Tracy Anderson


Orthoceras Fossils are more than just ancient relics

They are tangible connections to the vastness of time and the enduring power of life's journey.

Orthoceras were cephalopods that lived over 400 million years ago, during the Ordovician period. Their fossilized remains offer a glimpse into a world vastly different from our own.



Exploring Orthoceras Fossils

 

  • Orthoceras were straight-shelled nautiloids, ancestors of the modern-day nautilus.
  • Their fossils are found in various locations around the world, most notably in Morocco.
  • The fossils vary in size, from a few inches to several feet long.

 

 

 


 


  • Orthoceras Fossils are believed to carry the ancient wisdom of the earth and the energy of evolution.
  • They promote a sense of grounding, stability, and connection to the past.
  • They encourage us to embrace change, move forward with confidence, and appreciate the journey of life.
  • While not as widely discussed in "The Book of Stones" as some other crystals, the general consensus is that fossils in general are grounding and connect us to ancient energies.
Each stone is a unique wonder of the earth.  The pieces shown here are examples of my work, and the stones may vary.

Intuitive Insights

Working with Orthoceras is like working with a piece of time itself, a reminder of the vastness of history and the enduring power of life. I see images of ancient seas, teeming with life, and a sense of slow, steady evolution. It whispers of resilience, reminding me that we are part of a long lineage of life, and that we have the strength to overcome any challenge.

 

 

 



Integrating Ancient Wisdom into Your Life

  • Grounding and Stability: Keep an Orthoceras Fossil nearby to promote feelings of grounding and stability, especially during times of uncertainty.
  • Connecting with the Past: Use Orthoceras Fossils during meditation to connect with ancient wisdom and gain insights from the past.
  • Embracing Evolution: Place an Orthoceras Fossil in your home or workspace to encourage a sense of growth and transformation.
  • Honoring Ancestry: Use Orthoceras Fossils to honor your own lineage and connect with the strength and wisdom of your ancestors.
  • Raw Stone Energy: Even in its raw form, Orthoceras Fossils offer powerful, earthy energy. These raw pieces can be used during journaling & reflection, Meditation & visualization, and even being placed on your alter.

Harmonizing Ancient Energies

  • Orthoceras Fossils and Petrified Wood: This combination powerfully amplifies connection to the earth and promotes stability and grounding.
  • Orthoceras Fossils and Black Obsidian: Together, they provide strong protection and help to release negative energies from the past.
  • Orthoceras Fossils and Ammolite: This pairing enhances connection to ancient wisdom and promotes a sense of vitality and transformation.

Honoring Ancient Life

  • Gentle Cleansing: Cleanse Orthoceras Fossils with gentle methods like running water or smudging with sage.
  • Energetic Recharge: Recharge Orthoceras Fossils by placing them on the earth or in sunlight for a short period.
  • Be mindful of copper coatings: My Artisan Wrapped pieces are crafted with copper-coated wire, in order to amplify the stone's energy, (though custom orders for Argentium Silver are available). To preserve the integrity of your piece, avoid substances that may remove the coating or accelerate oxidation.

 


Orthoceras Fossils remind us that we are part of a long and enduring journey of evolution. They encourage us to embrace change, move forward with confidence, and find strength in our connection to the past.
