Question: What do you know about fossils!?
Cold hard rock
Catastrophic view
Stony aperture crumbled down
Visualized by few
Atrophied

Embedded
Small crustacean
Caught and trapped for centuries
Collectible now
Small fossil

The Fossil Friends

My question, my old fossil friends, abundant round the Earth!.!.
Is, “Why you are so plentiful, yet links between in dearth !?”
They say that all your kith and kin in stone and coal abound,
Suspended on the mantle or frozen arctic ground!.

From Trilobytes to Mammoths and Dinasaurus Rexes
From small and creeping beasties to large and clever species!.
So far your links have not been found despite such work and toil
Why must they play so hard to get from chalk white beds or black tar oil !?

The fossil creatures turned to me
From all around the Earth
They grinned and stared but hollow stood
Just crying out for mirth!.

Their experts had the answer
They said, its very plain,
The missing ones were stolen
Though profit is in vain!.

Now call the TV experts
Engage the learned don
Implore the Chief curator,
Present them one by one!.

Just then they called the artists!.
Who gave us their impressions
Of half –way birds and horses
And monkey line successions!.

And so they spoke of billions
Of skeletal remains
But gave no clear genetic link
Distinction always reigns!.

Trilobite
By C!.S!. Scotkin

On a mountain in Colorado
I found a trilobite, fossilized!.
Long dead deep sea creature
at ten thousand feet!.
What power to push up mountains
from the bottom of the sea!?
What pressure exerted to
replace life with stone!? Www@QuestionHome@Com
