Whitby Jurassic Belemnite Battlefield Fossil In Shale

A genuine small belemnite battlefield fossil from Whitby on the Yorkshire Coast, dating back around 180 million years to the Jurassic period.

This specimen preserves a dense concentration of fossil belemnites within the natural shale matrix. Belemnites were squid like creatures that once inhabited the Jurassic seas covering Yorkshire, with battlefield specimens such as this representing areas where large numbers accumulated together on the ancient seabed millions of years ago.

The fossil remains preserved within the original shale, giving the specimen a particularly natural appearance while showcasing the packed concentration of belemnite remains. The shale has been stabilised using paraloid to help strengthen and preserve the specimen.

A 100% authentic Yorkshire Coast fossil, perfect for collectors, display, or anyone interested in genuine Jurassic marine fossils from Whitby.
