Description: | These fossilised gastropods (sea snails) are similar to the modern sea snails that are found today living mainly in warm seas. These are often called 'top' shells because they look like a spinning top. These animals probably lived in shallow water close to the seashore. They probably ate protozoa (tiny single-celled organisms that lived in the sea), and the remains of other creatures that had died. | 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 |
