Description: | Bivalves, which are very common shellfish on the sea shore at the present day, were much rarer in the Ordovician period. This specimen would have lived in the mud on the seabed. Brachiopods (lamp shells) were much more common in the Ordovician seas but very few brachiopods have survived to the present day. | 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 |
