This photo is of a fossil in a large chunk of white stone (higher than my waist). In order to 'see' inside a crack, I set the exposure to cope with the dark inside rather than the light outside - so the fossil shows but the detail in the rock doesn't. The darker bit in the top left corner is another piece of what I think is the same fossil where it breaks through the surface - but it is blurred because the focus is on the inside bit.

This is beautiful Lucy.
This really an incredible shot. So odd.
That's what I call abstract art. It does keep you looking though.
Hello Luis, Chuck and Scott.
Perhaps I should explain?

I assume it's a large ammonite.
