17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This fossil print showcases the exquisite details of a Prolecanites compressus goniatite, a type of ancient marine mollusk belonging to the subclass Cephalopoda and the class Ammonoidea. This invertebrate, specifically a goniatite ammonoid, lived during the Late Devonian to Early Carboniferous period, around 385 to 354 million years ago. The Prolecanites compressus is characterized by its distinctive, flattened, and tightly coiled shell, which is visible in this meticulously preserved specimen. The shell's shape is reminiscent of a spiral horn, with each whorl displaying a series of fine, beaded ribs that add to its intricate appearance. The ribs become more pronounced towards the outer edges of the shell, creating a striking contrast against the smoother inner surface. The goniatites, including Prolecanites compressus, are an essential part of the fossil record, providing valuable insights into the evolution of the cephalopods. They represent a transitional stage between the more primitive nautiloids and the more complex ammonoids, which dominated the seas for millions of years. This fossil print, captured by the skilled lens of Beatriz Aguirre Urreta, invites us to marvel at the beauty and complexity of life that existed long before our time. The intricate patterns and delicate details of the Prolecanites compressus goniatite serve as a testament to the rich history of the natural world and the wonders that lie hidden within the Earth's crust.
