Genuine Polished Brown Belemite Amonite Statue (19")

One of a kind, polished belemite fossils on matrix. Belemnites are a group of fossil cephalopods. They existed from the Lower Carboniferous to the end of the Cretaceous. From about 358 to 66 million years ago. The belemnites resembled today's squid in appearance, had 10 tentacles and an ink sac. They had hooks rather than suction cups on their tentacles.  In general, it is the orthorostrum that characterizes and is found in most species. Even when the art forms an epirostrum, it is often lost because of the vulnerable transition site, and both parts are found isolated from each other. For these reasons, it has become customary to refer to orthorostrums in general as rostrums.
