Description: | This dish-shaped sponge was anchored to the sea floor by a stem. It lived in a quiet, low-energy area of a warm shallow sea. The sponge pumped water through its wall, from the outside, into the body sack and fed on the tiny particles of food that it filtered out of it. | 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 |
