This is a rare BELEMNELLA KASIMIROVIENSIS fossil belemnite from the Maastrichtian stage of the Late Cretaceous period, discovered in Nasiłów, Poland. Belemnites were extinct marine cephalopods related to modern squid and cuttlefish. Unlike ammonites, belemnites had an internal shell called a guard, which fossilised over millions of years, leaving behind bullet-shaped remains commonly found in Cretaceous marine deposits.
