natural belemnites.

They are an extinct group of cephalopod molluscs. Very similar to current squids, the big difference is that they had an internal shell.

They lived in the sea, grouped in schools of the same species and were predators, feeding on other animals. The belemnites became extinct at the end of the Cretaceous (65 million years ago), in the Cretaceous-Tertiary mass extinction, which also wiped out the dinosaurs and many other forms of life.

The fossil includes a label with the name, period and provenance and is attached to a 4 cm square cardboard box.

*The price is per unit (a single cardboard box of the four shown in the photo)

Since the samples are natural, you will receive a piece similar to the one in the photograph. The fossils come in cardboard boxes and are glued to a porex base with hot silicone; these can be removed using ethyl alcohol without damaging the fossil. The size is approximate.
