JURASSIC ERA (200 MIL YRS) BELEMNITE SQUID FOSSIL GROUP POLISHED 30CM LONG
THIS A BEAUTIFULLY PRESERVED, 30CM LONG BELEMNITE SQUID FOSSIL FROM THE JURASSIC ERA (200 MILLION YEARS).
WE HAVE ACTUALLY A WHOLE GROUP OF BELEMNITE FOSSILS WITH ONE BIG SAMPLE AND VARIOUS SMALL BELEMNITES ALSO EMBEDDED IN THE ROCK. POLISHED ON ONE SIDE.
THE FOSSIL IS PRESERVED IN A DETAILED MANNER AND A LOT OF DETAIL IS PRESENT OF THE INTERNAL SKELETON.
BELEMNITES: Belemnites lived during the periods of Earth history known as the Jurassic and Cretaceous; together, these represent a time interval of about 135 million years. The Jurassic Period began about 201 million years ago, and the Cretaceous ended about 66 million years ago.
The belemnites became extinct at the end of the Cretaceous Period, at roughly the same time as the dinosaurs disappeared. However, we know a lot about them because they are commonly found as fossils, formed when the remains of traces of the animal became buried in sediment that later solidified into rock.
Belemnites were marine animals belonging to the phylum Mollusca and the class Cephalopoda. Their closest living relatives are squid and cuttlefish.
They had a squid-like body but, unlike modern squid, they had a hard internal skeleton. They had ten arms of equal length studded with small inward-curving hooks used for grasping prey. In the animal's tail, the skeleton formed a bullet-shaped feature sometimes referred to as aguard, but more correctly termed a rostrum (plural: rostra). These are the parts that are normally found as fossils.
SIZE: 30CM LONG 7CM WIDE 3CM HIGH
CONDITION: SMALL SCRATCH ON THE ONE SIDE. IN GOOD CONDITION. ALSO PART OF MY PERSONAL COLLECTION FOR 20 YEARS. WELL TAKEN CAREOFF.
