Mcmaker Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Hello everyone. I wanted to share with you my fossils collection. I started fossils hunting in my area back in the june 2019 and that's what I collected and preparated since then. First of all, my favourite belemnites. I donated one of the largest rostrum (7 intact inches, on the second photo) to the Jurassic Museum in my country, feels good So, let's get started, that's one of twelve full shelves, this one is especially for belemnites 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their closest living relatives are modern squid and cuttlefish but went extinct in the late Cretaceous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
