Seven ancient animals glide silently over shards of an even older desert dune. The theme is the interplay of sea and sand across the geological epochs. The dunes are from an ancient Permian desert. The ammonites swam in Cretaceous seas 100 million years later. And of course they are all now fossils in a desert once more. Sea and sand. Sand and sea. They dance to a music too slow for us to hear.
