Lower Mississippian Tin Mountain Limestone

Inyo County, California

A piece of Lower Mississippian Tin Mountain Limestone that bears an extinct rugose horn coral; image snapped with a Nikon CoolPix 995 digital camera; later edited and processed through photoshop (creating the black background, for one). From the locality near Towne Pass, Inyo County, California; collected on public lands before the paleontologically rich exposures there were assimilated into the borders of Death Valley National Park.
