Description: | There are several different kinds of fossils in this rock. The ones which look like miniature saw blades are graptolites. The oval-shaped fossil (lower left) is the head of an extinct shrimp-like creature, Discinocaris. This animal probably lived near the surface of the sea feeding on plankton. | 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 |
