Discovery & Invention, Period 5, 9 Apr '08

"Our current best estimate for the age of the earth is some four and a half billion years," Mohinder called from the small cliff created by the Danger Shop. The remainder of the landscape largely consisted of a pebble-washed rocky beach and an uneven cliff face that he scrambled down to the class.

"During that time there have been a number of extinction events. The most recent some 65 million years ago which wiped out the dinosaurs," Mohinder paused. He had heard the stories. "Most of them. More than 99% of the species that have ever existed only do so now in the fossil record, in fact we may be currently undergoing an ELE," he said brightly.

"Fossiled remains are the mineralised footprints of our history," and Mohinder went on about the process of fossilisation and discovery.

"Take what tools you need," he gestured at the moddable pile, "And good hunting!"

Hermione took careful notes, purposely not looking around to even see if there were extra boys in class today.

Mac made hre was a little distance up a relatively shallow part of the cliff, in a not particularly graceful fashion, and set about chipping away at some of the stone.
