BELEMNITE ON HOST ROCK

PART POLISHED

PART SPRAYED

This is a opalized fossil replacement of a marine creature "belemnite" that roamed the Cretaceous sea 100 million years ago. Very similar to our squid to day

Belemnites were marine animals belonging to the phylum Mollusca and the class Cephalopoda. ... In the animal's tail, the skeleton formed a bullet-shaped feature sometimes referred to as a guard, but more correctly termed a rostrum (plural: rostra). These are the parts that are normally found as fossils.
