Heavily Scratched Surface of a Plattenkalk Specimen

Heavily Scratched Surface of a Plattenkalk Specimen

Photo: David Christensen

A close-up, black and white, vertical studio shot captures the heavily scratched and damaged surface of what appears to be a Plattenkalk specimen. The rectangular object, possibly a fossil slab, exhibits numerous fine, intersecting white lines indicative of deep scratches across its dark, mottled surface. A small, dark, triangular indentation is visible near the top edge, and the top right corner shows a chipped or broken area. The bottom left corner is rounded, and the object rests on a lighter, textured surface, possibly a table or floor. The background is solid black.
