The Silurian reef diorama contains reconstructions of 57 species that represent 13 major groups of reef organisms. The pages linked from the list above provide general information on each group, including their appearance, mode of life, and functional role in the reef community. Before moving to more detailed information on each fossil group, move the cursor around the image above to identfy the fossil groups.

The drawings of fossils shown in these pages are the same drawings that the artists used to construct the Silurian reef diorama.
