BELEMNITE & STRAIGHT CEPHALOPOD FOSSILS (SOFT BODIED)

Belemnites and other straight-shelled cephalopods represent a major portion of marine biomass. These proliferous creatures lived from the Ordovician Period 467 million years ago until they died out with the dinosaurs 65 million years ago at the end of the Cretaceous. They also are some of the most common elements of the fossil record. They can be an inexpensive way to start a fossil collection or a stunning addition to an existing one.
