Notes

Belemnites were ancient marine creatures — relatives of modern squid and cuttlefish — that lived during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods, approximately 65–200 million years ago. They became extinct alongside the dinosaurs at the end of the Cretaceous Period. Over millions of years, the silica-rich waters of outback Australia replaced the original material of these creatures with precious opal, creating some of the world's most extraordinary natural treasures.
