EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a Gastropod known as Ecphora quadricostata, a sea snail that thrived during the Pliocene era. The image captures every detail of this ancient creature's shell, revealing its unique pattern against a pristine white background. Through careful studio shot and expert lighting, Colin Keates has brought to life an extraordinary piece of marine history. The Pliocene era was characterized by abundant sea life, and this photograph serves as a window into that prehistoric world. As we gaze upon this fossilized mollusc, we are reminded of the wonders hidden beneath our oceans' depths for millions of years. The cut-out presentation emphasizes the solitary nature of this gastropod specimen while eliminating any distractions from its magnificence. No people are present in the frame, allowing us to focus solely on the delicate curves and ridges adorning its shell. Belonging to the Muricidae family, Ecphora quadricostata is part of an extensive lineage with deep roots in evolutionary history. This image invites us to ponder not only the ecological significance but also the artistic allure found within these ancient creatures. Colin Keates' photograph is more than just a visual representation; it is an invitation to explore paleontology and appreciate Earth's rich past. With no mention of commercial use intended here, let us revel in this remarkable snapshot that encapsulates both scientific curiosity and aesthetic appreciation for our planet's natural wonders.
