Fossil 2
When I was a child in Topeka, Kansas, fossils littered the margins of our school playground. We'd loiter at the fenceline, picking mineralized segmented plant stems out of grass and gravel and crushing them between our fingers. Then we'd brush our hands and rush off to skip rope. The idea that our known world had once been fathoms deep underwater, and that a gentle rain of millions of tiny plants and animals had quietly turned to stone there, still fascinates.
