Description: | There are two fossilised brittle-stars on this piece of rock. Brittle-stars are a type of star fish that have very thin arms. Their arms are very brittle and they break very easily. Fortunately, if they lose an arm, they can grow a new one. Brittle stars are still alive today. They move around by jerking their arms forward in pairs. | 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 |
