Belemnitida, also known as belemnites, were ancient cephalopods that roamed the oceans millions of years ago. One notable species is Belemnotheutis antiquus, a squid-like creature with a long, bullet-shaped body and ten tentacles. These fascinating creatures coexisted with other prehistoric marine life such as Rasenia uralensi ammonites. The remnants of these remarkable beings can still be found today in various locations around the world. In May, on the beaches of Dorset, England, one can stumble upon rock formations at the base of cliffs adorned with belemnite rostrum fossils. These fossilized remains serve as a reminder of an era long gone by and provide valuable insights into Earth's history. Sheringham in Norfolk, England is another place where belemnite enthusiasts flock to witness the wonders preserved within rocks. Here lies yet another treasure trove of belemnite rostrum fossils waiting to tell their stories from April onwards. Amongst the vast collection of fossils discovered are C016/5998 and C016/5618 - both thunderbolt belemnite specimens that captivate researchers and visitors alike. Their intricate details offer glimpses into the lives led by these enigmatic creatures during their time on Earth.
