Sunset. 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.

Fossils are the really, really old remains of a plant or animal — so old they've turned to stone..
Fossils are very important to scientists who study animals: they're one of the ways we learn about the beasts and critters of the past. A fossil is an imprint of the bones of that animal in rock or stone. When we die we become just fossils in the memories of those we leave
Thanks to everyone who takes the time to view, comment, and fave my photos.
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
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.
Looking Close... on Friday: Seashells &/or Snail Shells
(If this is not enough shell I have other options)
Fossilien finden sich rund um den Elm ja recht häufig. Meist sind es Ammoniten im Kalkstein, der hier auf den Äckern ja quasi "wächst". Solch ein versteinerter Seeigel aus Flintstein ist da eher seltener anzutreffen. Umso schöner, wenn man auf einem Streifzug durch die Gegend solch einen schönen Ackerfund machen kann...
Impressions of plants from the Jurassic era...not really.

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.

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.

A "fossil" from my archives, lovingly adapted to look like a very old photo…for Sliders Sunday. 😊
Have a wonderful day, everyone!

The Fossil Rim Wildlife Center near Glen Rose Texas sits in an area of flat topped ridges and grassy valleys as seen in this photo. The Ridges are mostly made of Lower Cretaceous limestones mixed with interbeds of shale, clay; siltstone and sandstone. As the name Fossil Rim implies, some of the limestones are fossiliferous and contain gastropods; pelecypods; cephalopods; ammonites; marine macrofossils; fossils
just a closer crop of the one I previously posted. I like this better.
