Blue Lias Ammonites - a photo on Flickriver

            #MacroMondays #Rock
For this week’s Macro Monday’s theme I immediately thought about a rock I found a few moons back in Lyme Regis, at the Jurassic Coast. We were hunting for treasure that day…of the fossilised type – and Lyme Regis is one of the world’s most important locations to find fossils from the Jurassic period. So while I was looking around for something interesting I picked up this rock, made of Blue Lias, and split it in half. To my delight both of the halves contained completely fossilised ammonites from about 200 million years ago!! 
For the macro shot I did want to go all-out epic – so I placed the rock on a backing tray filled with water and in the dark of our kitchen lit a few candles around it. I then took a long exposure and waved a burning matchstick around the rock for dramatic effect – hope you like it!
HMM!!
