MAGNIFICATION MAYHEM
With terrible weather battering down the door, I decided to have a play with one of my Christmas presents: a microscope. I got out my fossil kit and my box of sea-shore bric-a-brac and zoomed in on some of my favourite pieces. Here are some of the photos I got. Can you tell what they are? All of the objects are sea-related, but not all are shark-related. Enjoy guessing!!
