Description: | Synocladia virgulacea was a bryozoan (moss animal) that lived in the warm, salty Zechstein Sea 250 million years ago. This bryozoan built a funnel shaped framework, in which many tiny animals that looked a bit like small sea anemones lived. Bryozoans were important inhabitants of the reef that formed a ridge that can still be traced in the Sunderland area, for example, at Tunstall Hill. | 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 |
