This is a genuine 5-inch CYLINDROTEUTHIS PUZOSIANA Fossil Belemnite from the Oxford Clay Formation, Oxfordian stage of the Jurassic period, discovered in Weymouth, United Kingdom. Belemnites were extinct marine cephalopods related to modern squid and cuttlefish. Unlike ammonites, they had an internal shell known as the guard, which fossilised over millions of years, providing an important insight into Jurassic marine life.

This well-preserved specimen displays its characteristic elongated, bullet-shaped guard, with visible structural details. Belemnites played a key role in prehistoric marine ecosystems and are highly sought after by fossil collectors and researchers alike.

Jurassic Information

The Jurassic Period (201–145 million years ago) was the golden age of dinosaurs, with iconic species like Brachiosaurus, Stegosaurus, and Allosaurus dominating the land. It was a time of warm, humid climates, with high sea levels that created vast shallow seas, supporting abundant marine reptiles, ammonites, and early coral reefs. The first birds, such as Archaeopteryx, evolved from small theropod dinosaurs, while early mammals remained small and nocturnal. Lush forests of cycads, conifers, and ferns covered the land, providing food for giant herbivores. The breakup of the supercontinent Pangaea accelerated, shaping Earth's geography and setting the stage for the diverse ecosystems of the Cretaceous.
