EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of Acrosterigma dalli (Cockle) shells, originating from the Plio-Pleistocene era. The intricate pattern and grooved texture of these mollusc fossils are brought to life against a pristine white background in this studio shot. Transporting us back to prehistoric times, this image offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of sea life that once thrived during the Pliocene and Pleistocene periods. The delicate curves and distinct markings on these cockle shells provide valuable insights for palaeontologists studying ancient marine ecosystems. Expertly captured by Colin Keates, this horizontal composition allows us to appreciate both the upperside and underside of these remarkable seashells. Cut out from their natural surroundings, they take center stage as testaments to an era long gone. The Cardiidae family is represented here through Acrosterigma dalli, showcasing its unique characteristics that make it stand out among other shellfish species. This print not only serves as a visual delight but also sparks curiosity about our planet's rich geological history. With no people present in the frame, all attention is drawn solely to these mesmerizing fossilized treasures. Whether displayed in a scientific setting or admired by enthusiasts of natural wonders, this photograph invites contemplation and appreciation for Earth's ancient past.
