Finished editorial illustration, 1:1 square, tiny pixel vignette built on a coarse pixel grid and enlarged with crisp nearest-neighbour edges. One squat, irregular stone fragment sits left of centre in the lower half, viewed slightly from above. Embedded in its face is a mineralised coral fossil: a thick branching relief with two stubby forks and one comically elongated, crooked branch reaching upward. The fossil and stone are one connected object, not living coral. Use bold stepped contours and broad marker-like colour blocks, with only a few uneven tonal patches suggesting hand colouring. Pale icy-blue background, dusty mid-blue stone, deep navy-blue fossil relief and a short blue cast shadow. Strong asymmetric silhouette, legible at thumbnail size, generous empty space at upper right. Playful and deliberately simple; no intricate texture, scientific diagram or labels. No people, text, logos or watermarks.
