Product information "Belemnite, Cretaceous, GER (~ 6 cm)"
Well-preserved, isolated belemnite.
The name derives from the Greek "belemnon" = "projectile", which is why these fossils,
which are often washed out of the earth after thunderstorms, are also known as
thunderbolts.
The dense, calcareous belemnite rostrum was the heaviest part of the internal skeleton.
It acted as a counterweight to the rest of the body and helped the creature to maintain a
more stable, horizontal position in the water. Because of this positioning, the animal was
able to swim swiftly by expelling water from its siphon, similar to squids and octopuses today.
Age: Cretaceous, Campanian (approx. 80 million years old);
Locality: Höver near Hanover, Lower Saxony, Germany
Size: approx. 6 cm
