Tidgy's Dad Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Yes, it looks like the tip of a belemnite rostrum or guard. 2 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidgy's Dad Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Yup, really, i'm sure of it., the shape and calcite patterning are unmistakeable. Do we know where it came from? 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Douvilleiceras Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Definitely a belemnite guard - it displays characteristic radial striations, caused by the fibrous nature of the calcite which replaced the rostrum, along the break. 1 Regards, Jason "Trilobites survived for a total of three hundred million years, almost the whole duration of the Palaeozoic era: who are we johnny-come-latelies to label them as either ‘primitive’ or ‘unsuccessful’?

abyssunder Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Just to add, the coexistent patterns are visible in the photos of the specimen in question. and one more: VasiceketalNJGP2009.pdf " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.
