Small stone, possibly shaped or knapped, showing tiny spirals with dark hatch marks. The spirals are single-celled animal shells.
A chert shard, showing perfect cross-sections of forams. Tiny spirals, nature's hidden order.

For #FossilFriday check out this gorgeous fossil insect! This 49 million year old beauty is Pulchritudo attenboroughi, a #beetle found in the rocks of the Green River Formation, Colorado. what's particularly striking about this fossil is the pattern on its wing cases.
