You will receive the exact fossil shown in the photograph, with a 1cm cube scale included for accurate sizing—please refer to the photo for full measurements. This is a 100% genuine fossil specimen, professionally selected and sold with a Certificate of Authenticity.

Geological & Scientific Information:

  • Type: Fossil Belemnite (internal rostrum of extinct squid-like cephalopod)
  • Age: Jurassic (Approx. 201–145 million years old)
  • Location Found: United Kingdom
  • Order: Belemnitida
  • Superfamily: Belemnopseina
  • Family: Belemnitidae (typical for British Jurassic species)
  • Morphological Features: This specimen has been polished and sliced to reveal the central phragmocone chamber system—an internal structure used for buoyancy. The growth rings and calcite crystallisation patterns are clearly visible, enhancing its aesthetic and educational value.
  • Depositional Environment: Found in fine marine sedimentary layers formed in relatively calm, shallow shelf seas of the Jurassic period. These environments allowed for exceptional fossil preservation.
  • Scientific Importance: Belemnites are important biostratigraphic markers and key indicators of marine ecosystem health and climate trends during the Mesozoic.

Additional Notes:

Belemnites were squid-like marine animals related to modern cuttlefish and squid. The internal hard parts (rostra) are commonly preserved as fossils, but specimens like this—sliced and polished to reveal internal features—are much rarer and ideal for both collectors and educators.

Why Choose Our Fossils?

  • All specimens are authentic and expertly curated.
  • Includes a Certificate of Authenticity.
  • You receive the exact item in the listing photo.
  • Perfect for fossil collectors, science teachers, and natural history enthusiasts.

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.
