Description: | Oppelia was an ammonite that was alive at the same time as the dinosaurs, during the Jurassic, and was probably eaten by ichthyosaurs, the large marine reptiles that looked a bit like dolphins. On a part of the shell of this ammonite, traces of the frilly suture lines can be seen. The suture lines are formed where the internal walls of the shell, which are related to the growth of the ammonite, meet the outer 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 |
