EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate beauty of Actinopora disticha, a fossil cyclostome bryozoan from the Cretaceous Chalk in Santonian, Kent. The detailed scanning electron micrograph reveals the delicate structure of this marine invertebrate, showcasing its colonial nature and unique characteristics.
Bryozoans, also known as moss animals or ectoprocta, are fascinating organisms that form colonies on various surfaces in marine environments. This particular specimen dates back to the Cretaceous period, providing a glimpse into the ancient world of these phanerozoic creatures.
The sedimentary rock background adds depth to the image, highlighting the contrast between the fossilized organism and its surrounding environment. The high-resolution scanning electron microscope technology used to capture this micrograph allows for a closer look at the fine details of Actinopora disticha's anatomy.
As we admire this mesmerizing print by Rights Managed from Mary Evans Prints Online, we are reminded of the diversity and complexity of life forms that have inhabited our planet throughout history. It serves as a visual reminder of our connection to prehistoric times and showcases the beauty that can be found in even the smallest marine creatures.
