EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable beauty and intricate details of a fossil ammonite, specifically identified as Hoplites sp. This Cretaceous ammonite is characterized by its strong ribbing, which is clearly visible in this 7.8 centimeter wide specimen found in Southern England. The black background accentuates the delicate shell of this ancient marine creature, allowing us to appreciate its exquisite form. As an aquatic invertebrate belonging to the cephalopod family, this mollusc lived during the Mesozoic era, commonly known as the Age of Dinosaurs. Preserved for millions of years, this fossilized ammonite serves as a window into our planet's prehistoric past. Its presence at the Natural History Museum in London offers visitors a glimpse into Earth's rich biodiversity throughout different geological periods. With its cut-out presentation against a dark backdrop, this image draws attention to every curve and contour of the ammonite's shell. It invites viewers to explore not only its physical characteristics but also sparks curiosity about paleontology and zoology. As we marvel at this extraordinary relic from nature's history book, we are reminded of how much there still is to discover about our planet's diverse fauna and phanerozoic timeline. The Science Photo Library has masterfully captured both artistry and scientific significance within this photograph provided by the esteemed Natural History Museum in London.
