Description: | This bivalve had two similar sized convex (outward curving) shells, covered with broad ridges separated by narrow grooves. Venericor lived buried in the surface of the seabed and when it died the shells often separated. It lived in shallow water, including the intertidal zone (the area between high and low tide), where there was a sandy sea floor. The bivalve was part of a rich and varied sub-tropical or tropical community of animals. It fed on tiny food particles that it filtered out of 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 |
