Description: | This limestone is a piece of fossilised seabed. It is packed with hundreds of fossil animals including branching skeletons of bryozoa (moss animals), corals, brachiopods (lamp shells), and fragments of trilobites. This shows that during the Silurian period, Dudley was covered by a shallow sunlit tropical sea crowded with many different kinds of animals. | 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 |
