Not a long act in this first play, but one I still find fascinating. In my rock garden I have beautifully worn field stones from Kentucky that I gathered myself containing the segmented steams of some long extinct plant that thrives in oceans so long ago that life had yet to evolve its way onto the dry land. Only a couple, but so cool.

I find it really interesting that the assumption of the paleontologists is that the animal's body floated out onto a lake and sank... It feels more like an animal caught in a flood and buried quickly, before it had the chance to decay.
