fandomhigh | An Introduction to Zoology

That morning Cutter had arranged for both his classes to meet at serenity cove, he was feeling a lot better from the weekend and his bandages were now gone so he had more use of his hands, “this morning we’re going to be doing something a little different and go on a fossil hunt around the serenity cove and light house area, this area has proved to be rather successful in finding fossils, so I thought that we could have ourselves a bit of a hunt around this area and see just what we can find here,” he said with a smile.

“There are four types of fossils that you can look out for,” Cutter continued, “they are trace fossils - which are preserved with an animal’s behaviour or activity such as trilobite tracks,” no one was surprised at all by this point that Cutter had mentioned trilobites were they? “And then there are fossils with some organic material preserved such as a removal of all organic material except carbon, which remains as a film in the rock and mineralised fossils which is where a organic matter is replaced gradually by mineral such as Replacement of organic material in bone with minerals and finally impression fossils, which when the remains decay completely but leave an impression in the sediment and examples of these can include internal impressions such as trilobites and external ammonites or impressions of armoured fish or tree barks,”

“and today I’m being joined Connor Temple, he teaches Dinosaurs 101 with me, if you need help or having any questions you can ask either myself or Connor and we’ll be happy to assist,” Cutter smiled over at him, trying not to worry that Connor would be doing so much walking but Connor had assured him that he was fine with small brace and he would be able to manage to do the hunt, “happy hunting,” he said with a smile and let his classes go off to to explore.

"Then it's settled" Connor said with a smile. "Once the fossil hunt wraps up, we can head back."

Cutter smiled, "I do like the sound of that, it sounds like the perfect way to spend the rest of the day, I'm looking forward to it," he added.

"Will give us time to start packing and making sure everything is ready for our trip too" Connor pointed out. "That's coming up quite quickly!"

Cutter smiled warmly at that, "that is true, I ... I haven't even started packing yet," he admitted, "I suppose I should really get started on that, I can't put it off any longer since we're leaving Sunday,"

"I'll probably just throw everything in my duffle bag and call it done" Connor admitted. "But yeah we probably should start packing- gonna be gone for a few days. Really looking forward to it!"

“Same here,” Cutter smiled warmly, “our first official trip away, I mean that wasn’t a school trip,” he amended, “but it will be nice for us to get away for a few days, spend some time on the mainland,”

"First trip, just the two of us... sounds amazing. I can't wait to see the National Museum of Natural History. It sounds brilliant! Did you know they have whole exhibit halls dedicated to different animals, evolutionary studies, and even a fossil lab?" Yes, Connor was very excited about the trip, in case that wasn't clear.

Cutter’s eyes lit up at that, “I didn’t know that, I’ve never been there before but some of my colleagues at the university had, it sounds brilliant,” he smiled, “and we’re going to have a full day there to be able to explore the museum and everything," he looked down at the trilobite fossil in his hand, "do you think they'll have displays on trilobites?"

Cutter was also very excited about this trip.

"I am sure they have trilobites and many other amazing things. It sounds so great... I'm not sure even a full day will be long enough! But I am definitely planning to see as much of it as possible!"

Cutter smiled, "this will be brilliant, I'm glad that we're doing this for our first weekend trip away and we can always go back right?" his smile widened, "whatever we don't fit in for our first visit, we can come back for another trip,"

Connor returned the smile."Exactly! And there's nearly two dozen museums and gardens associated with the main one we are going to see. So I think it's safe to say we could keep ourselves busy with trips for some time!"

Cutter smiled happily, "it sounds perfect, I'm looking forward to everything and getting to see it all with you,"
