Description: | Specimen of a fossil bivalve, Cardinia listeri J. Sowerby, collected from the Lower Lias of Early Jurassic age from Redcar, North Yorkshire (NE England). Collected by M.B. Gardener.
Cardinia listeri was a bivalve (two valves or shells). It lived in a burrow, probably in a muddy seabed, and fed on tiny particles of food suspended in the water. This bivalve has a triangular shell, but the shells of most bivalves are more rounded than this.
The specimen was found in North Yorkshire.
It is from the Jurassic period (206 - 144 million years ago) | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Subjects: | M.B.
