Belemnite Extinction Theories Revisited

Belemnites were ancient marine cephalopods that became extinct at the end of the Cretaceous period, along with the dinosaurs. Various theories have been proposed to explain their extinction, including climate change, competition with other marine organisms, and asteroid impact. Recent studies have suggested that a combination of these factors may have led to the decline of belemnites. Further research is needed to fully understand the reasons behind their disappearance from the fossil record.
