Photography->Manipulation
Found this recently. A college professor identified it as a very nice specimen of mastodon teeth. Mastodons (and mammoths), of course, were elephant-like animals that went extinct about 10,000 years ago. So, this find is special to me and I decided to make up a "display photo" by combining a photo of it with a photo of red satin fabric. Not an image most folks would care to use as wallpaper, but I wanted to share this. The fossil is about 5 inches, left-to-right, as viewed here.

I find this site much more exciting than just wallpaper. To me it is also photography, manipulation, creativity and more. So this is spectacular.

Yesterday's history. Tomorrow's a mystery. Today's a gift. That's why it's called the present.
What do you mean you "found" this? Did you literally unearth this? my goodness, that must have been exciting andscarey too. I too think this site is MUCH more than just a wallpaper site...I love seeing people real photography, photos like this, that mean something special to them. Thank you so much for posting it...verena

Love is not soft like water,it is hard like rock, on which the waves of hatred beat in vain.
Verena: Yes, I found it in an eroding beach area in Tampa Bay, and that was a real kick! However, the beach had been created by dredging material from the Bay, so this "chunk" had been dug up originally from what is now a deep shipping channel nearby. Still, it was a thrill to think I was the first human ever to see this fossil. I gave it to a nephew, to pass on the thrill!

Fascinating find and subject matter. Your choice of the red fabric as a backdrop brings out the detail nicely.
