Belemnite Fossils

Belemnites were extinct marine cephalopods related to modern squid, cuttlefish and other members of the cephalopod group. Their internal hard parts are among the fossil remains most commonly associated with these animals. Belemnite fossils are valued by collectors for their connection with Jurassic marine ecosystems and for the insight they provide into life in ancient seas. The name Belemnitella elongata identifies the fossil as belonging to a recognised belemnite form, while the Pliensbachian designation provides important geological context for its place within Jurassic time.
