This is an exquisitely preserved complete belemnite fossils
preserved in three-dimensional natural form, of solid translucent honey-colored calcite!
Finding an undamaged one and then KEEPING IT UNDAMAGED
as you remove it from the hard limestone, is a real chore and very difficult to accomplish! Literally,
MORE than a ton of rock has to be turned and broken by hand to
find this many complete belemnites from this Cretaceous site.
After we collected these, we then subjected each one to individual microscopic cleaning in our lab.
Every belemnite we have ever encountered for sale had been
ground and polished on a grinding machine to remove the rock but
doing so, removes all this incredible natural surface detail.
NONE of these specimens have touched a grinding wheel!
Each individual belemnite was cleaned with micro-abrasive (by our collector).
The investment of time to first, find them, break the rock and remove them,
then clean each one in the lab, far exceeds the price we are asking.
If you want pristine preserved belemnites free from their rock and in the most natural state, this is a fantastic display collection. Most will glow when held up in the light because they are pure calcite.
Each belemnite has NO POLISHING, GRINDING, REPAIR OR RESTORATION.
HISTORY
Belemnites are extinct, squid-like straight-shell Cephalopods that
died out at the end of the Cretaceous Period, along with ammonites and dinosaurs.
The belemnite fossils offered here were darting about below the
ocean waves at the same time many incredible large prehistoric
marine reptiles like PLESIOSAURS and MOSASAURS chased them about.
It was the same time many of the most
ferocious dinosaurs walked the Earth and largest
pterodactyls soared in the skies above.
