Rock concretions
Concretions. The marine concretions of Red Rock Coulee, Alberta, Canada. These spheroid rock formations are aggregates composed of small crystals that became cemented together. The exact mechanism of their formation is not known. The red colouration is due to the rocks iron content which has been oxidised on exposure to air. The concretions at Red Rock Coulee are the largest in the world

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 the mesmerizing rock concretions found in Red Rock Coulee, Alberta, Canada. These unique spheroid formations are composed of small crystals that have become cemented together over time. While the exact process behind their formation remains a mystery, their sheer size and beauty make them a wonder of nature. The striking red coloration of these concretions is a result of the rocks' high iron content, which has undergone oxidation upon exposure to air. This natural phenomenon adds an extra layer of intrigue to these already fascinating geological formations. Red Rock Coulee boasts the largest concretions in the world, making it a must-visit destination for geology enthusiasts and earth science aficionados alike. The sheer scale and complexity of these sedimentary rock structures showcase the incredible forces at play within our planet's geomorphology. This stunning print from Science Photo Library allows viewers to marvel at the intricate details and textures present in each individual concretion. It serves as a reminder of Earth's remarkable ability to create awe-inspiring wonders that continue to challenge our understanding of its processes.
