Description: | The thin shell of this gastropod (sea snail) suggests that it lived in a low-energy (clam water) environment where it was unlikely to suffer any physical damage. Soleniscus lived on the surface of the sea floor and was probably a scavenger that fed on dead animals and plants. It was part of a shallow water community that lived in a warm tropical sea. | 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 |
