EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a tightly coiled fossil, frozen in time and beautifully preserved. Against a clean white background, the intricate details of this ancient relic come to life. The circular shape of the fossil is perfectly captured in this studio shot, allowing us to marvel at its natural perfection. As we delve into the realm of palaeontology, we are transported back millions of years ago when molluscs ruled the oceans. This particular specimen belongs to the ammonite family, specifically classified as ammonoidea. Its exquisite coil pattern is reminiscent of a mesmerizing work of art created by nature itself. The stone-like texture adds an element of authenticity and reminds us that this was once a living creature inhabiting our planet's vast seas. With its round shape and horizontal orientation, it becomes evident how these fossils have become sought-after treasures for collectors and researchers alike. In this colour image expertly captured by Colin Keates from Universal Images Group (UIG), we are reminded of Earth's rich history and diverse inhabitants throughout time. These ammonoids were among some of the most fascinating invertebrates ever to exist on our planet. As we gaze upon this single object suspended in eternity, it sparks curiosity about what other secrets lie buried beneath layers upon layers of earth's surface – waiting patiently to be discovered by those who dare venture into the depths of scientific exploration.
