Description: | Spirifer mucronata was a brachiopod (lamp shell) that was common on muddy seabeds during the Devonian period. It would have been well adapted for life in an environment with relatively low levels of plankton. Spirifer brachiopods like these are known as Swallow Stones in China. This is because the shell appears to have long wings. | 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 |
