Description: | This piece of limestone contains several brachiopods (lamp shells). Dark grey to black limestones of Carboniferous age are quite common in north east England. This is similar to the Frosterley Marble, which is a black limestone containing white fossilised corals. You will usually find this type of limestone, containing white fossils, on the beaches of Northumberland, where it is very common. | 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 |
