Historical News

Historical News


On rocky shoals of ancient seas,
Amidst the rocks and shells,
Are fossils of a distant past,
Their locked-in image tells.

Different things,
With bony wings,
And scaly lizard skin.
Much larger bones,
As hard as stones,
Their secrets locked within.

The paleontologists study,
As they try to perceive,
The meaning of these mysteries,
We find hard to believe.

Study the past,
So long and vast
Mulling over the clues.
To put to test
What was guessed.
Late historical news.






To an Archeologist, studying fossils is like reading a book written millions of years ago. Late edition news.
