mikeymig Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Parkinsonia parkinsoni (ammonite) Jurassic, Upper inferior Oolite Bridport Dorset. UK 6.5" The first photos I took a few years ago did nothing for this unique specimen. I found it difficult capturing the details and still think they could be better. The ammonite has many chambers preserved in calcite that glow when backlit. Calcite crystals can be seen growing inside some of the empty chambers. Fossil, mineral, crystals, art, science, love Happy collecting. 2 Many times I've wondered how much there is to know. led zeppelin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam86cucv Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Very cool. It's amazing how with just the right light or angle it can go from a good looking ammonite to wow mother nature is an artist. Photography is another bucket list hobby I'd love to get into one day.
