Summoning device

The summoning device was Silurian technology which was capable of calling forth other Silurians. It served as a communication device.

It was a hand-sized device. When activated, it emitted a burst of resonating sounds that Silurians and certain animals like dogs could hear. It was also capable of opening doorways within Silurian bases.

The Silurians gave a summoning device to one of their agents to recover a wounded and lost member of their race being hunted by humans on the surface. The Third Doctor took the device from the dead Dr Quinn and used it to enter the Silurian base in the caves. (TV: Doctor Who and the Silurians)
