Description: | Yunnania tunstallensis is a tiny gastropod (sea snail) that looks a bit like a periwinkle. This shell fish lived on a tropical reef, a large underwater colony, teeming with life, in the warm waters of the Zechstein Sea 250 million years ago. This sea stetched between what is now northern England and Poland. Fossils of this type can be found in rocks of Permian age near Sunderland. | 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 |
