Abstract:
Recent progress in imaging technology has enabled paleontologists to visualize all fossils inside solid rocks. Consequently, we can now imagine the natural worlds hidden not only inside our research materials but also within the opaque solids of everyday life. Here, we introduce the unique visual-spatial worlds that emerge from inside rocks and the creativity this discovery fosters.
