Australian Opal Belemnite Fossil 6.18cts – Queensland, Australia

A high-quality opalized belemnite fossil, professionally polished to reveal the opal within. These remarkable specimens are over 100 million years old — formed during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods when ancient seas covered outback Australia. This belemnite would make a gorgeous pendant once set, combining prehistoric rarity with genuine Australian opal.

Belemnites were marine animals closely related to modern squid and cuttlefish. They had a squid-like body with a hard internal skeleton — the bullet-shaped rostrum — which is the part preserved as fossil. They became extinct at the end of the Cretaceous Period, around the same time as the dinosaurs.
