Small it is - 04-04-2007, 01:01 AM


These are fossil sawfish teeth from the Lower Cretaceous Glen Rose Formation near Hamilton, TX. Yep, I am a nerd.

I cut the Polaroid scanning electron micrograph images out with an X-acto knife and glued them down on a black card with rubber cement. This plate is from the days before photoshop/digital photography was affordable. The scale bar at the bottom is 0.5mm - pretty small.

This is a seed shell for a Silver Leaf Maple tree. I put it on a light box and shot it from above.
