A whole ammonite this time, chambers well hidden but polished to show off the wonderful iridescence these guys sometimes have.
I posted another ammonite, so decided I might as well share another of my fossil tanka. Because sometimes you just have to write on an improbable prompt to keep from going mad from boredom (or frustration) at work!

frozen whirlpool, still
expanding, trying to flee
the growing chambers’
sutures–inescapable
rooting in the stony past

Oh, Miss Magpie. I love those colours and the illusion of depth. It looks as though it’s lit up, deep inside.
This is gorgeous! I’ve never seen anything like it.
Thank you! They’re gorgeous fossils and always so tempting.
