Belemnoid fossil. This fossil has been fractured (shocked) by the asteroid impact that created the Nordlinger Ries crater 11.5 million years ago during the Miocene. The belemnoid fossil itself is 70 to 50 million years old. Belemnoids (such as belemnites,aulacocerids,diplobelids) are extinct cephalopods that lived during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. They went extinct at the end of the Cretaceous period. The Nordlinger Ries crater surrounds the city of Nordlinger in Bavaria,Germany | |
