In a beautiful antique store in the Village I encountered this quite large and rare fossil. I asked permission of the store's owner and was so happy he allowed me to take it's picture. There was no price tag I could see. Indeed, it's priceless!!

Pretty fancy, Nancy. These fish are featured in WHAT Interrobang. LF
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
What a nice notice for my ancient fish and for the nerve of me to get this photograph! Thanks so much, Jim for this feature in WHAT!

It's such a thrill to be chosen to be featured for Old MASTERS - Photographers. This image of a giant fish fossil is so compelling, I'll let that be the reason rather than skill with lens and camera. Still, I had to beg for it....capture the fish and bring them to the FAA dock! Thanks so very much, Lenore!

Wow! So glad you were able to photograph this fossil . . . it is truly a work of natural art . . . and you have captured it beautifully!.....fv
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
I did ask permission to take it's photo...but surely the shop owner never dreamed the image would have "legs". FAA legs.

This is really cool Nancy - how lucky you were to get to photography it - well done (oh yes - I am a geologist - so I love this kind of stuff:))
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
I just love geology.....what a great field, Inge. There was yet another very big stone with plant forms, but I didn't have the nerve to ask if I could shoot that one too!
