Description: | Sagenodus is a type of lung-fish that had an eel-like body and grew up to 30 cm in length. Lungfish were the first vertebrates (animals with backbones) adapted to breath air. They lived in shallow, salt and fresh water that was liable to become stagnant and dry up. The tooth plate formed part of a jaw palate that was used to crush the mollusc shells and crustaceans that the fish ate. | 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 |
