These striking cheese platters and plates, designed by Jamal Ait Hammou, are cut from fossilized stone found in the High Atlas Mountains of Morocco. Hammou started his business four years ago to employ his impoverished family in rural Morocco—olive, apricot, and almond farmers struggling against drought. Living in close proximity to a wealth of fossilized stone, the Hammous' relatives cut and polish the dishes, comprised primarily of squidlike orthoceras fossils trapped in stone some 350 to 400 million years old. Also prevalent in this fossil mix is ammonite, a brown invertebrate marine creature, about 65 million years old.
