A "fossil" from my archives, lovingly adapted to look like a very old photo…for Sliders Sunday. 😊
Have a wonderful day, everyone!
HSS!
just a closer crop of the one I previously posted. I like this better.

Black rocks picked from the ground when cracked open reveal the spiral fossils of ammonites, deposited here million years ago when the entire region was a sea bed before the Himalayas was formed.
The Jurassic Coast begins in Exmouth, East Devon, and continues for 95 miles to Old Harry Rocks, near Swanage, Dorset. It is England's only natural World Heritage Site, and was inscribed by UNESCO in 2001 for the outstanding universal value of its rocks, fossils and landforms.
After the collapse of the Montreal Maine & Atlantic, the pieces were slowly shipped off elsewhere for scrap. Among them was this by-then-ancient C39-8, formerly Conrail 6004. By 2018 this thing was essentially a fossil; it was later scrapped by LTEX. I strongly suspect the modified F40 and string of Dash 7/8s behind it in the shadows also met the same fate.
These fossils were left in the back yard of the house I bought. I've left them in the yard with all my assorted rocks, but they are deteriorating. The rock itself was perhaps sandy clay, probably a landslide that hit an area full of life. Since I'm in the rocky Sierra foothills, I imagine they're from the Pacific Coast. Wish I knew their story!
Sorry not a serious title contender - just a hint that it was inspired by the lepidodendron fossil that formed the coal measures in these parts, the saw wrack sea weed that grows profusely here, and stained glass windows.
It's pastel over watercolour on a full sheet of hefty Saunders Waterford paper, measures 76 x 56cms
It has been too long since I found this one to be sure where it was found. Fossilized fern (snake skin) texture. This specimen is ~1 X 1 X .5 inches (2.5 X 2.5 X 1.25 mm) in size.
If you are keeping track, my E-mount 90 mm macro took a dive, repair cost TBA. I've resorted to my standby Sony A700 with a Sigma 105 mm macro. The camera plays better with the off camera flash natively so bonus.
Here are two inches of a fossil I found in our yard. We have 12 tons of river rock around our garden train. There are probably many more fossils.
Took this photo before I realized that I misunderstood Macro Mondays' challenge for the week. The challenge is to get as close as possibly can to the subject including a measuring device. I like this image so I'm posting this also.
Collected these fossilized shark teeth years ago at a beach west coast of Florida.
URPFERDE UND PAARHUFER
Die Messeler Funde sind historisch bedeutend, denn sie haben die erste Einstufung der Ölschiefer in das Mittel-Eozän möglich gemacht. Zudem wurde mit ihnen gezeigt, dass in der Pferde-evolution ein Wechsel von Blatt-und Fruchtäser zu Grasfressern stattfand. Man kennt vier Arten: Eurohippus messelensis, Propa-laeotherium hassiacum, P. voigti, und Hallensia matthesi. Letztere sind jeweils nur mit einem bzw. zwel Funden belegt. Ähnlich selten sind die Paarhufer (Artiodactyla), hier sind nur drei Gattungen und Arten bekannt: Messelobunodon schaeferi, Aume-lasia cf. gabineaudi und Masillabune martini. /
PRIMEVAL HORSES AND EVEN-TOED UNGULATES
The finds from Messel are of historical importance in that they facilitated the first classification of the oll shales as belonging into the Middle Eocene. They furthermore demonstrated that the evolution of horses included a switch between foli-and frugivorous to graminivorous forms. Four species are known:
Eurohippus messelensis, Propalaeotherium hassiacum, P. voigti, and Hallensia matthesi. The latter two are recorded only from one and two finds, respectively. Even-toed ungulates (Artiodactyla) are similarly rare, with a mere three genera and species being known: Messelobunodon schaeferi, Aurelasia cf. gabineaudi, and Masillabune martini.
This is the image of the Fossil Footprint Nebula I captured under a 93% illuminated moon in Friday's video:

I said 97% in the video, so it's 4% better than it could have been if I shot it the night before 😆
I've never captured NGC 1491 before, and it was really exciting to play with some new data. I really dig this object, and I hope you give it a try yourself (hopefully without the 🌕)

A small (1.6 inch diamater) fossil Ammonite, a type of Cephalopod. I have lost the species and collection details on this specimen. I thought that the wide range of colors of the silica was beautiful.
I hope you like it as well! Hope everyone is well and staying safe!
This relatively common coral fossil is found in the Chicago area limestones. This specimen is water worn and was found on a beach on Lake Michigan. Large reefs of marine fossils are found in the bottom of the lake and the region. In my collection.
...the desire of a wave,
the green rhythm that from the hidden bulk
lifted up a translucent edifice,
that secret, it clasped to itself...

Going on from my previous post of the old Sputnik camera, this shot of Fossil Bluff, near Wynyard in Tasmania was taken with that particular camera. It was taken in around 2006 before I bought the more modern and reliable 3D World stereo camera.
Fossil Bluff was always a great little place for a walk and you could make your way right round the headland at low tide, but you did have to be careful as it could sweep in pretty quickly if you were distracted.
Original colour slide was taken in 2006 with a Sputnik medium format stereo film camera using Fuji Provia 100F colour slide film. Scanned with a Canon R10 with RF24-240mm lens and Nisi close up attachment.
Ammonites are an extinct group of marine invertebrate animals in the subclass Ammonoidea of the class Cephalopoda.

Desert five spot (Eremalche rotundifolia) growing among the lava rocks of the Fossil Falls area, along HWY395, North of Little Lake, Inyo County, California

Strobist/technical info:
The entire scene within the frame measures 2-inches across. The watch was placed on a reflective glass with a black muslin fabric backdrop. It was illuminated by two Nikon SB900 speedlights fired through two Neewer 24" x 24" soft boxes. The first speedlight was placed 80-degrees CL, 3' from subject and slightly above camera level. It was fired in Manual mode @ 1⁄4 power. The second speedlight was placed 90-degrees CR, 2' from subjecct and also slightly above camera level. It was fired in Manual mode @ 1⁄2 power.
Both SB900's were triggered by three PocketWizard Plus X's.
Lens: Tokina AT - X M100 AF PRO D (AF 100mm f / 2.8 Macro).
My new watch, thought I would try something abit different to what I normally do, a bit of product photography.
"Lyle The Crocadile’s" Many Times Great Grandfather?!?!
I was digging around in my back yard and Lo and behold, I dug up this alligator fossil. Or, maybe it’s a crocadile, I don’t know.
Eons ago, this was a waterfall. Now it’s all dried up. It’s a fossil waterfall. Get it?

This is a remote part of Mull only accessible by boat or a long journey in on foot. This shows an imprint of a tree buried in the lava and is known as MacCulloch's tree after the geologist.

Fossil Glen, part of the Bruce Trail, near Owen Sound, Ontario is a beautiful spot to enjoy the emerging spring landscape.
I live in the mountains that once were the bottom of the sea and now is sedimentary rock. After a couple of hours of searching I came across this somewhat mysterious fossil that makes me think of seashell or a fish's fin. And you, what do you think? HMM
A frog is any member of a diverse and largely carnivorous group of short-bodied, tailless amphibians composing the order Anura The oldest fossil "proto-frog" appeared in the early Triassic of Madagascar, but molecular clock dating suggests their origins may extend further back to the Permian, 265 million years ago.

Thanks for looking!
