This approach was reproduced by Dr Phil Wilby in 2009 on a Callovian ink sack. The accompanying photoshoot (📸: Phil Yeomans) is iconic.

Delighted to share that from mid-August, I’ll be joining @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social School of GeoSciences as a PDRA studying bacterial taphonomy with @seanhmcmahon.bsky.social and Bryne Ngwenya!

- this silicified stromatolite isn’t a specimen I’ll be studying, but is a suitably bacterial photo 🧫🦠
A field photograph of a heavily fractured Cambrian blue-grey limestone, containing multiple, reasonably large (up to 20cm across) peach-pink silicified stromatolites in cross section. The largest dome, in the centre of the photograph, shows evidence of internal laminae.
