Summoning device
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
The summoning device was Silurian technology which was capable of calling forth other Silurians and ordering the Silurians' pet dinosaurs to stop attacking. It served as a communication device.
It was a hand-sized device. When activated, it emitted a burst of resonating sounds. It was also capable of opening doorways within Silurian bases.
The Silurians gave a summoning device to the human scientist Dr Quinn to recover a wounded and lost member of their race being hunted by humans on the surface. After Dr Quinn was killed when he tried to imprison the Silurian, the Third Doctor took the device from Quinn's body and used it to enter the Silurian base in the caves.
