Description: | Acanthocladia anceps was a bryozoan or moss animal that lived on a reef (a ridge made up of living animals and the remains of dead animals under the water). It lived in the Zechstein Sea in the Sunderland area 250 million years ago. This particular bryozoan looked a bit like a modern coral, with many branches. The tiny animals (known as zooids) looked a bit like small sea anemones, and lived in little holes in the branching structure called cysts. They fed on tiny plants and animals that lived in the sea water. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | fossils natural world | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
