EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of a Gastropod from the Cirsotrema species, specifically the Cirsotrema lamellosum, commonly known as the Wentletrap shell. Belonging to the Pliocene era, this stunning piece of sea life has been perfectly preserved in time. Against a pristine white background, this studio shot allows us to fully appreciate every intricate detail of this mollusc fossil. The shell's unique whorl pattern is prominently displayed, drawing our eyes towards its mesmerizing curves and delicate structure. Its operculum, an essential part for protection and sealing off its aperture when needed, adds another layer of fascination to this remarkable specimen. With no people present in the frame, we are solely focused on admiring nature's artistry at its finest. This photograph takes us back to a prehistoric era where these wentletraps thrived in ancient oceans. Their presence serves as a reminder of Earth's rich history and evolution over millions of years. Colin Keates skillfully captures not only the physical attributes but also evokes a sense of wonder through his lens. As we gaze upon this seashell masterpiece belonging to Epitoniidae family - Cirsotrema genus - it leaves us captivated by its timeless elegance and profound connection with our planet's past.
