 * Comment I think we need a bit more info here. What exactly are we looking at/for? What are the significant features that this photo shows particularly well? Samsara (talk • contribs) 22:24, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
 * weak oppose this particular shot may be a macro, but this kind of fossil is common and often large (up to more than 30cm long), so I was hoping for more detail at the full size. de Bivort 22:33, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Çomment- One thing I know, it doesn't show the whole fossil animal and this is a problem...also..it isn't really close up enough to be considered a macro shot. pschemp | talk 22:39, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Furthermore, it looks like this was shot in a museum, but we don't know where. It would be good to include this information. Samsara (talk • contribs) 07:48, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
 * The picture was taken at my house, and I bought the fossil about 7 years ago. I could include the dimensions if that would help. As for a good caption, it is not really my strong point, and I was hoping someone else could come up with a better one. --Digon3 talk 16:26, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
