Hi Folks

This item is from a Sclaifhausen Dactylioceras Bed.

Any ideas, please

Pete

Hi Pete,

on first sight I\'d say the object looks like a belemnite fragment called \"rostrum\". I\'m sure the more into-this-matter-people of the forum can help you out on this one.

Try googlin\' on \"belemnite + rostrum\" or check wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belemnite and see for yourself.

Greetz,

The earth has music for those who listen.

Hi Ziepe

Thanks once again for the input.
I\'m glad to have joined the forum.

I thought that it was a belemnite but wasn\'t too sure.

Regards

Pete

PS
Any ideas on my first Mystery object?
