Fossil dunes are hardened sand dunes shaped uniquely by desert wind . Though it looks hard these are breakable sandstones which changes its shapes very slowly unlike normal sand dunes. Normal sand dunes moves and changes shapes frequently according to wind.
A hoodoo (also called a tent rock, fairy chimney, or earth pyramid ) is a tall, thin spire of rock that protrudes in the desert in dry, hot areas.
Weathering is the process decomposes or decays rocks . (Al watba - Abudhabi UAE)

Weathering is the process where rock Larry is dissolved, worn away or broken down into smaller and smaller pieces. There are mechanical, chemical and organic weathering processes. weathering decomposes or decays rocks . (Al watba - Abudhabi UAE)
Happy new Year to all of you!
#macromondays #new
Ths has been my 1st attempt for the last macro mondays challenge called "new". It shows a tiny little fossil watch for women in monochrome look. Diameter of the clock face is just 22mm. So you can imagine that this is really a small peace on a womans wrist.
I hope you all had a wonderful start into 2023 and i wish you and your beloved ones all the best. May all your wishes come true and keep healthy !
Thank you for visits, comments and favs!

Looking upstream from the Beartooth Lake outlet at the Butte of the same name.
"When you visit Beartooth Lake you will immediately notice the large butte on the opposite (west) shore of the lake. This is Beartooth Butte; a formation that has a completely different geologic origin than the surrounding area. During the Devonian period (420 - 360 million years ago) this entire region was covered by a vast sea. For several million years sediments deposited on that sea bottom compacted tighter and tighter to ultimately become sedimentary rocks. The resulting layer of rock, named the Beartooth Butte Formation, was at least 150 ft thick. Here on the Beartooth Plateau, the layer has been eroded away everywhere except here at Beartooth Butte.
The sedimentary rocks that make up Beartooth Butte are loaded with fossils from the various organisms that died and were buried in the ancient ocean. Geologists and rock hounds visit Beartooth Butte to sample rocks from the formation.
While Beartooth Butte is the namesake of the Beartooth Butte formation, the layer of rock is found in other mountain locations in Montana and Wyoming. Although these locations are hundreds of miles apart, there is no doubt that all of the areas were once part of the same inland sea."

Have a wonderful (and safe) Friday and weekend!
Another bit of night shoot stuff from Whitby. The town is so beautiful on an evening, but perhaps avoid the weekends...
WIJK AAN ZEE - Tata Steel’s IJmuiden Works is located on the North Sea Coast of the Netherlands and produces organic and metallic coated strip products for Global Markets.
What could be more tempting, an empty beach, a changeable weather forecast, and a strong wind making things happen. As the season progresses storms denude the beach of it's sand , and the rock strata is more emphasised. It's like walking on pavements of fossils. Fossil Scale is by Georgia Ruth
The fossil was captured in Geological Museum in Poland.
The only geological museum in Poland, where you will see a complete collection of rocks, reflecting the geological structure of the country. The thematic exhibitions allow you to delve into the fascinating world of minerals, crystals and fossils. You can also see a mini exhibition of meteorites, as well as the skulls of our prehistoric ancestors. Take a selfie with a Dilaphosaurus, which lived 200 million years ago in the Polish mountains. A faithful copy of this feathered prehistoric reptile known as Dyzio has a loyal group of fans. However, the biggest impression on visitors is made by the skeletons of animals from the ice age: a mammoth, a large rhinoceros and a hairy bear. And all this for free in the beautiful, somewhat old-fashioned interiors of a building from the beginning of the 20th century.
Think I bought this in Nederland Co. Ammonites are perhaps the most widely known fossil, possessing the typically ribbed spiral-form shell as pictured above. These creatures lived in the seas between 240 - 65 million years ago, when they became extinct along with the dinosaurs.
This is a detail from a stone which was to be used as a pendant, but I never finished it.

Macromondays theme rock
For Smile on Saturday's theme "Natural Stones"
I have a few glass bowls at home full of natural stones that I collected in different places. All are associated with moments and places that mean something to me. In a way, they store memories.
The bowl that I used for this photo contains two different collections. Pebbles that I picked up with my boyfriend in a nearby beach early in our relationship, and fossils of Jurassic brachiopods from the limestone hills next to my grandpa's vineyard.
Impressions of plants from the Jurassic era...not really.
Poortmeesters, a housing complex in Delft, with two large (Delft?) blue entrance arches. The ceramic tiles are 3D printed, and designed by Studio RAP.

Fossil Creek has the most beautiful aqua colored water, incredible waterfalls, and it is quite a hike.
We drove to Camp Verde, and proceeded from there for 21 miles of unpaved, horribly bumpy roads.The ride was worth every minute to see this beautiful place.
Hiking the back edge of our property, there are some pretty impressive granite rocks strewn about. This particular rock is around 15' tall with a large chunk broken away. It reminds me of a huge fish with its mouth open. Lol. I named it "fossil fish, rock"
I’m trawling the archives trying to delete some of the 28k images in LR but keep getting held up editing old ones. This is from the last ice festival in Lake Louise since the pandemic…..hoping it comes back in 2024. It’s by Team Japan, Junichi Nakamura and Shinichi Sawamura.
The imposing limestone relief of Sasso Malascarpa is rich in fossils of Conchodon (marine molluscs with a shell with two valves), which appear on the rock as heart-shaped sections.

This spot is known to have been coastline at 7 & 17 million years ago. The fossils are clearly two different ages- the younger ones crumble in your hand.
A place to test your ankles. Eroded but still relatively young (geologically) lava fields at the southern extent of the Sierra Nevada in California. Watch your step.
The south end of Avila Beach in San Luis Obispo County, California is marked by this ridge with accompanying sea cliffs. I haven’t got down to look at it geologically yet. (Too busy playing with grandkids and taking their pics.) I am hoping to find fossils there.

When I look at the point from this vantage point I can see a mimetolith. A mimetolith is a natural topographic feature, or rock outcrop, whose shape resembles a person, a real or imagine animal, a plant, a manufactured item or any part thereof. Visual pattern recognition like seeing shapes in clouds and rocks; seeing faces in inanimate objects or abstract patterns is a normal human tendency. This tendency called pareidolia, was once seen as a mental disorder but is now seen as common and normal in humans. (No, I am not crazy…well maybe a little.) In this ridge I see a giant reptile crouching down at water level. Do you see it. The eye on the far right of the ridge is the easiest to see. Then let your imagination take over.
just a closer crop of the one I previously posted. I like this better.
