Description: | The warm shallow seas which covered parts of the Midlands in the Silurian Period were the home of a wide variety of marine animals. Brachiopods, also called lamp shells, were particularly abundant in all shapes and sizes. This particular fan-shaped shell has a series of very fine ridges fanning out from the back to the front of the shell. | 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 |
