Fossilized Ammonite
This is the fossil of ammonite, an extinct ancient sea creature, which is often used as an "index fossil" to link the rock layer in which they are found to specific geological time periods.
It embodies the basic shape of the spiral, a growth pattern used throughout nature because it allows the organism to grow at a constant rate without having to change shape (as does the structure upon which this website is built).
"I can't thank you enough for all your help and advice on how to deal with the toxic offgassing resulting from the application of oil-based polyurethane on the floor at my daughter's school. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your words of wisdom helped to ensure a healthy environment for our kids."
