Ammonite street lights


These decorative street lights can be seen at Lyme Regis, a Dorset seaside town on England's Jurassic Coast. The ammonites reference the coast's fame as one of the places where the science of palaeontology developed from the study of fossils in the cliffs of the coast. The local herring gulls use them as a vantage point from where they can descend on food left by careless tourists.
