Description: | Dipterus was a fish that lived in a large fresh water lake that covered parts of Northern Scotland approximately 380 million years ago. Dipterus was a lung fish, which means that, unlike most fish which only have gills, it was able to gulp air at the surface and so could probably live in water with a low oxygen content. Fossilised teeth of this fish show that it ate a variety of food. | 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 |
