There animal life was represented by nothing more than sea lilies, starfish, delightful crinoids with bell-shaped heads like little chalices on straight stems, top-shell snails, blood-red tooth shells, and fissurella snails, a large species of coastal mollusk.
Allí la vida animal estaba ya sólo representada por las encrinas, estrellas de mar, magníficos pentacrinos con cabeza de medusa, cuyos tallos rectos soportaban un pequeño cáliz; trocos, neritias sanguinolentas, fisurelas y grandes moluscos litorales.
