it's been a while since i've gone through my ammonite collection.

this is a 'rainbow' ammonite, which has been polished to reveal the iridescent nacre. i believe it's a relatively common mon, a Cleoniceras from the Cretaceous.

: overcast day, good for taking photos. my Haworthia cooperii started to bloom today, as it has reliably for a few years. this variety seems to produce shorter flower spikes than the other haworthias i've seen...i wonder if that's the influence of some sort of dwarfing genes.

tonight's ammonite has its pyrite crystals exposed. this is another Kosmoceras species, from the Jurassic.

my mom gave me this amaryllis for Christmas, and i planted it a few weeks later, once the chaos died down. 3 of its 4 flower buds have opened...time to capture it before they start to fade 🌺

from my walk in the park: young oak leaves demonstrating marcescence, which is the tendency of some trees to hang on to their dried leaves throughout the winter. some scientists believe this helps protect the dormant buds at the base of the leaf stalk. beech trees also commonly demonstrate this trait.

this late in the season, the leaves are showing their age. parts of the leaves have been skeletonized, presumably by insects.

the river was low enough for me to explore under the bridge today. an underrated view of the park imo. colour is everywhere if you know how to look.

now that i have a significantly better setup, i reshot my trash-bandit buddy.

when you shine a light through the cranium of a skull, you reveal the swirling pattern that the brain imprinted there.

tonight's ammonite: feeling a bit Gigeresque.

one of my pyritized specimens, for which i don't have an ID. though i believe it's from the Jurassic. 🐚

today's ammonite: one of many varieties of Cleoniceras, from the Cretaceous. this one is approximately palm-sized. 🐚

i rediscovered some old treasures when i went to visit the family this weekend, including my old fossil collection. 🐚

this fossil is a Pleuroceras ammonite, from the early Jurassic. the inner segments were replaced with quartz, giving this one a translucent centre like a stained glass window.
