This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Is this real? I feel like some of the details on these things in the pictures look very macro. Like the colored striations on the shell pieces. Super cool if it is, but I'm not so sure..
Well, here’s a video from Dr. Greenberg where you can see them more 3D (Piped link)
Wow so cool! I don't think I've ever seen a microscope get angled like that while looking, either. Very surreal effect. Thanks for the link!
