The Silurian reef diorama at the Milwaukee Public Museum contains reconstructions of 57 species that represent 13 major groups of reef organisms. General information on each group, including their appearance, mode of life, and functional role in the reef community is provided on the otheer pages in the Silurian Reef Organisms section.  Some of the drawings of fossils shown in these pages are the same drawings that the artists used to construct the Silurian reef diorama.
