Nicole LovenI'm an avid fossil hunter. I'm particularly keen on finding fossils in places no-one has thought to look before. Here are a couple of ammonites I found in Lincolnshire; one tiny and the other 34cm in diameter. #fossilhunter #ammonites #iridescent
I love finding iridescent fossils. In ammonites the inner mother-of-pearl or 'nacre' layer of the aragonite shell is sometimes preserved, often with other minerals such as pyrite that enhance the colour and brightness.
mem_somerville@NicoleLoven That was precisely my inspiration for this piece of #lace art that I made for our local lace group competition this spring.
It was called "Ammonite" and I won the award for "technically impressive".
@mem_somerville Beautiful!
Ann Marie Snell@mem_somerville @NicoleLoven this is beautiful.
