Friday Squid Blogging: New Jurassic Squid Predecessors

Scientists have discovered a unique Jurassic-era squid relative, characterized by its barrel-shaped body, which is the largest belemnite found to date. This ancient creature, which lived 160 million years ago in what is now Wyoming, may have preyed on smaller squid-like animals. The fossils of this creature are exceptionally rare and provide insight into a family of animals thought to have gone extinct. The discovery sheds new light on the diversity of ancient marine life. The finding is being shared on a security blog, where readers can also discuss recent security news.
