Clues

  • Actively swims in the water column. Most are scavengers or predators. (e.g. an ammonite) (8)
  • Floats in the water column to wherever the currents will take it. Usually a filter feeder. (e.g. a graptolite) (10)
  • Organism does not move around on the sediment substrate. Some are attached to the sea floor others lie on the sea floor. Most will filter feed. (e.g. a bivalve mussel) (7)
  • Organism lives in the sediment, usually in a burrow. Many will filter feed. (e.g. a bivalve clam) (8)
  • Organism lives in the water column typically in the surface layers (7)
  • Organism lives on or in the sediment substrate of the sea floor (9)
  • Organism lives on the sediment substrate. (e.g. a bivalve oyster) (9)
  • Organism moves around on the sea floor and is usually a scavenger or predator. (e.g. a regular echinoid) (7)
