Description: | Liostrea hisingeri was a small oyster, a type of bivalve (meaning two shells or valves). Modern oysters need a stable environment, and are often common where burrowing bivalves are not found. Shallow water and a muddy sea floor are also conditions that oysters prefer. There are three fossilised Liostrea shells on this piece of rock. | 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 |
