A BOULDER IN THE FRINGE OF THE SEA

This find was “just lying there” one morning in the sea! It was actually a piece of a limestone bank that had been torn out of the rock formation by the surf. Over time, the rock was ground down and rounded off on all sides by the roaring waves. In addition, shells dug into the surface of the rock, giving the boulder its perforated appearance. Ammonites that were on the edge of the rock were destroyed in the process – but those that were further inside could be immaculately prepared.
