Description: | Spiriferina walcotti is a brachiopod (lamp shell). Shell fish like this one would have lived in groups on the sea floor, which they attached themselves to with a pedicle, a long thin muscle that protruded from a hole at the top of one of the shells. The lower edge of the shell has a wavy surface, which looks a bit like the edge of a Cornish pasty. | 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 |
