"Le Salon Carré", by Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione

The Gallery

Steven T. LoDuca inaugurated the Gallery series with fossil Dasycladales. He was followed by others. To date the main contribution is from Sigrid Berger who sent us more than 50 pictures of modern Dasycladales.

We hope that other colleagues will follow these examples so that we will have more pictures to share with you in a coming future.
