Fern Fossil

Taken at Slide Mountain while hunting for Eocene fossils there. Liked the idea of juxtaposing the fossil with a bit of fern growing nearby. The rock also contains parts of other leaves at the top and to the side of the living fern. Not entirely happy with the photo, though. Wanted more contrast between the imprint of the fossil and the surrounding rock but couldn't get it.

I think with some editing software, the detail and be brought out for that fossilized fern to stand out even more. I'd like to try it if you don't mind =)

Wonderful find either way ;)

Wonderful photo Ron !

It makes you realise forcibly just how long ferns have been around.

I love the Then and Now of this photo !

I was also going to suggest something like Fizgig has done so well above.
