Description
This is a rare and well-preserved 7-inch Cylindroteuthis beaumontiani belemnite fossil from the Oxfordian stage of the Jurassic period, discovered in Moscow, Russia. Belemnites were extinct marine cephalopods related to modern squid and cuttlefish. Unlike ammonites, belemnites had an internal shell structure called the guard, which fossilised over millions of years.
This specimen is an excellent example of Cylindroteuthis beaumontiani, featuring its characteristic elongated guard with fine surface details. Belemnite fossils provide insight into the evolution of cephalopods and their role in ancient marine ecosystems.
