With her expertise in cephalopods, she has unearthed remarkable specimens that provide invaluable insights into prehistoric oceans. One of Beatriz's notable discoveries includes the Endoceras cancellatum, a massive nautiloid with its distinctive spiral shell. This creature lived millions of years ago and left behind fascinating fossils that continue to captivate scientists today. Another intriguing find by Beatriz is the Actinoceras sp. Nautiloid, showcasing intricate chambers within its long shell. These delicate structures offer clues about the creature's growth patterns and behavior in ancient seas. Amongst her collection are also belemnites like Aulacoceras sulcatum and Plesioteuthis sp. , which possessed bullet-shaped shells and roamed the ocean depths during different geological periods. Their fossil remains shed light on their evolutionary adaptations over time. Vestinautilus cariniferous, another nautiloid species discovered by Beatriz, features a strikingly ribbed shell design. Through meticulous examination of these fossils, she uncovers details about their ecological roles and interactions within past ecosystems. Intriguing ammonoids such as Wasatchites tridentinus, Gomphoceras pyriforme, Gonioclymenia laevigata, Kosmoclymenia undulata, Prolecanites compressus have also been meticulously studied by Beatriz. These extinct relatives of squids showcase an array of unique shapes and ornamentations that help paint a vivid picture of Earth's ancient biodiversity. One particularly fascinating specimen found by Beatriz is Acanthoteuthis (Belemnoteuthis) speciosus - a beautifully preserved belemnite with intricate patterns on its shell.
