Comments      Large range of sizes. BE00004 is a fair-sized specimen but
                     would have been smaller than the incomplete BE00006.
                     It should be noted that most belemnite fossils lack their
                     pro-ostraca. See Belemnite Morphology.
                  
                     These specimens were found during a field trip organized by
                     the World Fossil Forum (See Links page).
                  Jamie, a very knowledgeable and dedicated young man,
                     the organizer and leader of the trip, charged nothing for his
                     services and hospitality.
