A small belemnite perched on a flint nodule from the Norfolk coast. It was collected from the beach. The belemnite is slightly worn but it is still a lovely specimen.
Belemnites are extinct squid-like sea creatures that were very common during the age of the dinosaurs, a period of the Earth's history when much of England was submerged beneath warm seas. The unique bullet-shaped internal shell, called a guard, is all that remains of them.
