Liquidambar fossil leaf. Rock containing a fossilised specimen of a leaf from the plant Liquidambar europaeum. The specimen measures 6 by 8 centimetres. Liquidambar plants first appeared in the Cretaceous and several species are still extant today. This specimen was part of the flora found in the region around Saint-Marcel d Ardeche and Theziers in the Rhone Valley in southern France. It dates from around 5 million years ago during the Pliocene when the climate was warmer. This specimen is part of the Depape collection of the Science Faculty at Lille Catholic University, Lille, France

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 print showcases a remarkable fossil leaf from the plant Liquidambar europaeum, known as Liquidambar. The leaf specimen, measuring 6 by 8 centimetres, is beautifully preserved within a rock formation. Liquidambar plants have been around since the Cretaceous period and continue to thrive today with various species. Discovered in the region surrounding Saint-Marcel d'Ardeche and Theziers in the Rhone Valley of southern France, this particular fossil dates back approximately 5 million years ago during the Pliocene era when temperatures were notably warmer. It offers us a glimpse into an ancient ecosystem that existed long before our time. Part of the esteemed Depape collection housed at Lille Catholic University's Science Faculty in Lille, France, this specimen holds immense scientific value. Its intricate details provide valuable insights into botanical history and paleontology. The black background enhances the contrast between the delicate leaf structure and its rocky surroundings, creating a visually striking composition. This studio shot captures every minute detail with precision and clarity. As we admire this single fossilized leaf suspended in time, it serves as a testament to Earth's rich biological past. Through careful study and analysis by experts at Lille Catholic University's Science Faculty, we can unravel more mysteries about prehistoric life forms and gain deeper understanding of our planet's evolution over millions of years.
