“All of these fossils, brought to the surface of their mudmounds by the combined efforts of tectonism and erosion more than 330 million years after they lived, had been plucked from the Earth's surface by the human inhabitants of this area about 5000 years ago, only to be placed back in the mound from which they had escaped, to accompany the remains of dead humans into their afterlife. These marine invertebrates experienced a rather ironic cycle of death, rebirth as fossil, then reburial by another's hand. Just no escape.”

Something of meaning to lighten the soul and delight the mind.”
