Megateuthis suevica (Klein 1783)


Ludwigia

This rostrum measures 38cm., although it is not quite complete, so it could have been up to 50cm. long originally. The name of the species used to be M.gigantea until it was revised a few years ago, which I find to be more suitable for this behemoth, the largest belemnite ever. It originates from the Bajocium in the Wutach Valley, southwestern Germany.

Mega is right. :default_faint:One would almost think it was an elephant tusk! Did you find this? If so, what a monster of a find!

No. This is one I prepped on commission. I have however found similar ones in the past myself.
