Belemnite Extinction Mechanisms

Belemnites were a group of extinct cephalopods that lived from the Late Triassic to the end of the Cretaceous period. Their extinction mechanisms are still debated among scientists. Some theories include climate change, competition with other species, and ocean acidification. The most widely accepted hypothesis is that the extinction of belemnites was a result of a combination of these factors, leading to a decline in their population and eventual extinction.
