EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image, we witness a vertical polished section through a dome-shaped fossil, identified as Actinostroma, discovered in Devonian rocks of Western Australia. Measuring an impressive 9 cm in width, this ancient invertebrate showcases the intricate structures that once thrived in the ancient ocean floor. Actinostroma is a type of stromatoporoid, a group of porous, dome-shaped organisms that were abundant during the Paleozoic Era. These animals were characterized by their calcareous skeletons, which provided them with both structural support and a means of attachment to the seafloor. The exquisite detail in this fossilized specimen reveals the complex network of interconnected tubes and chambers that made up the internal structure of Actinostroma. These tubes were likely used for the exchange of nutrients and waste, as well as for the circulation of water. The dark background emphasizes the intricate, almost otherworldly beauty of this ancient organism. The skillful studio shot, captured by renowned Australian photographers Paul Taylor and David Lewis, highlights the unique features of this fascinating fossil, transporting us back in time to the Devonian period, when Actinostroma and other intriguing invertebrates dominated the marine ecosystems of Australasia. This exceptional fossil serves as a testament to the rich biodiversity that once existed in our planet's oceans and reminds us of the importance of preserving and studying our natural history.
