12x9" Belemnite Mass Mortality Plate - Germany

This is a mass mortality plate of over 50 belemnite fossils from the Jurassic of Germany. The largest specimen on this plate is about 3" long.

Belemnites are probably the most well known extinct cephalopod after the ammonites. They lived during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods and are fairly common fossils found throughout the world. They had a hard, internal, cone shaped structure that is often preserved as a fossil though it is not technically a shell. They had 10 arms but unlike modern squid these arms had small hooks instead of suckers.
