Description: | Heleolites was a colonial coral, which means that a lot of tiny coral animals or polyps lived together in a group. Each polyp, which looked a bit like a small sea anemone, lived inside a tube shaped corallite. These were separated by smaller tubes, which did not contain polyps. These were all grouped together to form a small mound. | 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 |
