Description: | Specimen of a fossil bivalve, Grammysia cingulata, collected from the Kendal Group (?), Windermere Supergroup of Silurian, Ludlow (?) age from Kendal, Cumbria (NW England). Collected by J. Goring.
These are the fossil remains of bivalves (meaning two shells or valves joined together). The original calcium carbonate shells have not been preserved (fossilised). The shape of the natural casts (insides) of the shells left in the rock tell us that these are bivalves.
The specimen was found in Cumbria.
It is from the Silurian period (443 - 418 million years ago) | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Subjects: | Classification: Animalia Invertebrata J.
