Belemnites were carnivorous and free swimming squid-like creatures with long bullet shaped bodies and a hard internal skeleton called a guard. They lived approx. 100 million years ago in the Cretaceous period. The guard was positioned towards the tail end of the creature and acted as a counterbalance for the head and arms. This part of the belemnite can sometimes be found on the beach as a fossil. These fossils are in great condition, and well preserved. They're around 50-65mm long and weigh 12-20 grams each. You will receive either a single fossil, or a trio of three. Show more
