Jurassic Belemnite


Illustration of a belemnite in Jurassic Period seas, from Louis Figuier's The World Before the Deluge, 1867 American edition, based on a reconstruction by Dr. Buckland and Professor Owen. Belemnites were squid-like cephalopods, with an internal shell which is often the only part preserved in the fossil record.
