Description: | The original structure of this sponge fragment is well preserved with abundant large pores at the top of cone shaped swellings. The sponge lived in a quiet, low-energy area of a warm shallow sea. It 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 |
