This is a beautiful gift I recieved today from the most amazing science teacher in the world. She is retiring now, and giving away parts of her extensive collection of minerals, gems, fossils, books, videos, skeletons, pickled things...you name it. If you don't know by now who I'm talking about, you never had her as a teacher.
It is a piece of ammolite in the form of a fossil. I won't go into a ton of detail about it, but the wikipedia article has quite a fair bit of info. One other tidbit would be that it is the official gemstone of Alberta. If I ever sold it (which I won't be), she says it would probably fetch $300-$400.
Lighting stuff:
Three 60W incandescent bulbs, unfiltered
Exposure: 1/60s
Aperture: f/5.0
Focal: 37.00mm
Placed on wire platform, foam protection, dark blue background cloth, one foam wrapped rock propping it up.
