Belemnite fossil sea creature cylindroteuthis jurassic uk genuine uk seller

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.

In the animal’s tail, the skeleton formed a bullet-shaped feature sometimes referred to as a guard, but more correctly termed a rostrum. These are the parts that are normally found as fossils.

Belemnites lived during the Jurassic and Cretaceous period, which lasted about 135 million years.
