A2 Poster (59.4 x 42cm, 23.4" x 16.5" inches) printed on 170gsm Satin Poster Paper. Securely packaged, rolled and inserted into a strong mailing tube and shipped tracked. Poster Prints are of comparable archival quality to our Photographic prints, they are simply printed on thinner Poster Paper. Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.
Poster prints are budget friendly enlarged prints in standard poster paper sizes (A0, A1, A2, A3 etc). Whilst poster paper is sometimes thinner and less durable than our other paper types, they are still ok for framing and should last many years. Our Archival Quality Photo Prints and Fine Art Paper Prints are printed on higher quality paper and the choice of which largely depends on your budget.

EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Glimpse into the Past: The Majestic Spiral of Aulacostephanus Autissiodorensis, an Upper Jurassic Ammonite 2.. This image showcases a well-preserved Upper Jurassic ammonite, specifically the macroconch form of Aulacostephanus autissiodorensis. The ammonite's large, spiral shell, a characteristic feature of the Ammonoidea subclass within the Cephalopoda class, is a testament to the rich diversity of invertebrate life during the Mesozoic Era. The intricate ribbing on the shell, though slightly damaged, is still discernible, revealing the fine details of this prehistoric mollusk. Ammonites were cephalopods, related to the modern-day squid and octopus, and are identified by their distinctive, coiled shells. Aulacostephanus autissiodorensis, a member of the Aulacostephanidae family, was one of the larger ammonites, reaching up to 1 meter in diameter. The ammonite's shell was composed of aragonite, a calcium carbonate mineral, and was used for protection and buoyancy. The discovery of fossilized ammonites, like this one, offers invaluable insights into the Earth's geological past. These prehistoric creatures lived during the Phanerozoic Eon, a period marked by the presence of abundant fossil remains, and provide essential information about the ancient marine environments and the evolution of life on Earth. Aulacostephanus autissiodorensis is just one of the many fascinating ammonites that have been discovered, each with its unique features and intricate designs. This image serves as a reminder of the rich history and diversity of life that once thrived in our oceans, and the importance of preserving and studying these precious fossils to deepen our understanding of the natural world.
