EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a fossilized nautiloid, specifically the internal mold of its phragmocone. Belonging to the Orthoceras species, this ancient creature would have gracefully swum through the water with its shell positioned horizontally. The image captures every delicate detail of this remarkable specimen, highlighting the chambered structure within its shell. The phragmocone, or chambered part of the shell, is clearly visible and serves as a testament to the nautiloid's evolutionary design. Fossilization has preserved not only the external features but also provides us with an insight into their internal anatomy. This particular photograph focuses on the internal mold rather than showcasing any commercial use. Colin Keates from Universal Images Group (UIG) masterfully captured this extraordinary piece of natural history. The composition allows viewers to appreciate both scientific significance and aesthetic appeal simultaneously. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image, we are transported back in time to when these enigmatic creatures roamed our oceans millions of years ago. It serves as a reminder that Earth's history is rich with diverse life forms that have shaped our planet over countless generations.
