I've been struggling with words tonight, but lovely apl's lovely photograph of the staircase reminded me of these:
I love ammonites, if any of the brits have been to Lyme Regis they'll know that walking along the beach you can find lots of them. I have a lovely one that I picked up when I was out with my mother. I've got some from the lake district and the ex bought me a stunning glass and sheet copper ammonite brooch too that I love.
Does anyone else have any little treasures that they are fond of
[edit] misspelling and missing sentance, see told you I struggled with words

Aww that's beautiful (thanks for the kind words too Tre!)
I have an old fish fossil. "Rhacolepsis? Santana Formation (says so on the little card, hee), lower Crustaceous Period, Araripe Basin Brazil"
It looks like this:
From one of my favorite stores on the planet -What on Earth. It doesn't look like they have a website. Durnit.
Hey what's your name?
Do you feel the same way too?

And most of all don't let me down
It comes as no surprise
We're destabilized

No c.i.a. could understand
Defile define critique and salve
No c.i.a. no n.s.a.

That first picture looks like a Jaffa cake, but that's based on my unfortunately limited experience with said delicacy.
I don't have purdy pictures to post, just a random thought relating to fossils:
The great American empire's dependence on fossil fuels will bring about its downfall.

Weren't the Ammonites one of the tribes that lived near ancient Israel? I wonder how the name got to be applied to prehistoric animals.
