Belemnoteuthis sauzei

Belemnoteuthis sauzei was a genus of ancient, squid-like marine animals called cephalopods that lived around 150 million years ago during the Jurassic period. They belonged to a group known as belemnites, characterized by their internal shell called a guard, which helped them control buoyancy and movement in the ocean. Belemnoteuthis sauzei likely had tentacle arms for capturing prey and a streamlined body for swimming. Fossil evidence shows their distinctive internal shells, providing insight into ancient marine ecosystems and the evolution of modern squids and cuttlefish.
