Physics with trees, Period 1, 26 Nov '08
The classroom door opened up to a dusty plain abutted by a cliff. Shades of shifted strata rose up and up.
"In the billions of years that this planet has been spinning, more species have died and disappeared than still remain," Mohinder started. "The fossil record is our main source of knowledge about them, as well as being somewhat to blame for Triassic Gardens and its unfortunate sequels. Organic matter becomes fossilised under layers of sedimentary rock, compressed until mineralisation occurs."
He continued to describe the fossilisation process, before switching to, "Perhaps the most famous branch of paeleontology is that of dinosaurs, dominant on this planet until a mass extinction event some 65 million years. Traces are so few that some rarer species have been theorised from a handful of remains."
"In fact," he said, handing out brushes and chisels. "It's as much a matter of a steady hand and good eye to assemble a complete individual. Group up to collect and put together your bones."
[OCD is up!]
