五颜六色的贝壳(A shell of many colours)
我们也许可以愚弄你,声称你正在观看一幅失传已久的杰克逊·波洛克油画,但这是大自然母亲画的黑脚鲍鱼(又名彩虹鲍鱼)贝壳。这不是一门现代艺术——来自类似海洋腹足类的化石至少可以追溯到6500万年前。
原文:
We could perhaps fool you and claim you're viewing a long-lost Jackson Pollock canvas, but it was Mother Nature who painted this blackfoot paua (aka rainbow abalone) shell. And it’s not a modern art - fossils from similar marine gastropods date back at least 65 million years.
