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.

1. Title: "A High-Altitude Ammonite: The Fossilized Coil of Virgatosphinctes Discovered in the Himalayas" This image showcases an exquisitely preserved ammonite fossil, identified as Virgatosphinctes, discovered at an astonishing altitude of over 5,000 meters above sea level in the Himalayan region. Ammonites are an extinct group of cephalopods, characterized by their distinctive spiral shells, and are classified under the class Cephalopoda, phylum Mollusca. The Virgatosphinctes, an ammonoid, is a remarkable find, as ammonites are typically associated with marine environments. The fact that this fossil was discovered in the Himalayas, a continental region far from any present-day body of water, raises intriguing questions about the geological processes that led to its presence at such high altitudes. The tectonic forces responsible for the uplift of the Himalayas, which began around 70 million years ago, likely played a role in exposing this ancient marine fossil. The continental drift theory suggests that the Indian Plate collided with the Eurasian Plate, resulting in the formation of the Himalayan mountain range. As the land rose, it brought with it the marine sediments and fossils that were once submerged beneath the ocean. The Virgatosphinctes, with its intricate coil and delicate, ribbed sutures, is a testament to the rich marine history that once existed in this area. Its discovery at such a high altitude underscores the dynamic and ever-changing nature of our planet's geology. This stunning fossil serves as a reminder of the incredible stories hidden within the Earth's crust, waiting to be uncovered by intrepid explorers and scientists. The Virgatosphinctes, with its ancient beauty and mysterious origins, continues to captivate our imaginations and fuel our curiosity about the natural world.
