A rare picture to see Thomas aggresive. The reason was the trial to get some fossile Nummolite* out of the rock (I finally succeeded :-)!). The picture was taken 2001 by Fabian Romen on Crete.
* A nummulite is a large lenticular fossil, characterized by its numerous coils, subdivided by septa into chambers. They are the shells of the fossil and present-day marine protozoan Nummulites, a type of foraminiferan. Nummulites reaches 6 cm in diameter, and are common in Tertiary marine rocks, particularly around the Mediterranean (e.g. Crete). They are valuable as index fossils.
The name "Nummulites" is a diminutive form of the Latin nummulus meaning "little coin", a reference to their shape.
