I did a irid texture to the fossil once but didn't like it I may try
again with a different color. I also did a render with the same texture
as the rock (may have been more accurate but bland). I have no problem
with you using it as wallpaper Tim ( it has been mine from time to time
). Rudy if I can find it it's yours.Thanks for the nice words and I
might try a new version. BTW the dust is a h/f scaled down and
translated down so just the tips of the peeks were showing.
