Description: | Scaphopods, which are also known as tusk shells (because they are shaped like a tusk), are shellfish that live in the sea. This animal lived with the wider end of the shell buried in the seabed, and the narrower end in the water. This example is from rocks of Devonian age, but scaphopods are more common today than they were in the past. | 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 |
