Earthwatcher's photos with the keyword: fossil

My avatar picture. This was taken using a scanner in the days before I had a decent digital camera. I just put the fossil directly on the scanner glass. Works quite well, I think. Subsequently edited and inverted.

Benacre Cliffs, just north of Covehithe in Suffolk, are comprised of cross-bedded sands and gravels of the Westleton Formation, with beds of bioturbated clay; part of the Norwich Crag, early Pleistocene in age. Here, a fossil tree branch can be seen in the clay. 20p coin for a scale.

A scanner, an ammonite and Photoshop. Best viewed large on black.
