Description: | These are the fossilised shells of snails which lived on the bed of the Silurian sea. Snails were very important scavengers on the Silurian reefs, feeding mainly on the remains of dead animals. Some snails fed on seaweeds which were also probably common in the shallower, sunlit parts of the Silurian Sea. | 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 |
