I Found A Fossil

I Found A Fossil - Twin Sisters Productions

Going on a hike is so much fun

Collecting rocks some weigh a ton

You won't believe the things I found

When I looked closely all around

Fossils that have been made by shells

Or bones or plants I have to tell

That fossils help us learn and know

About the things from long ago

When an animal died long ago

The remains were covered

By mud or sand and preserved

After many years it changed to rock

When we find a fossil today

It might be the remains of a

Plant or shell or even an animal

Now fossil remains of dinosaurs

Let us know a whole lot more

Than we ever would without these clues

Let's go on a fossil rendezvous

Some fossils are preserved in tar or coal

You might see parts or even the whole

Outline of a leaf or a strange insect

Preserved in amber quite perfect

We use fossils every day

Fossil fuels such as coal oil

And natural gas burn to make heat and

Electricity All of these fossil fuels

Come from the remains of plants

And animals that have been

Altered over time by heat and pressure

Yes fossils help us learn and know

About the things from long ago

It's like learning a little history

Most scientists they would agree

So if you like the great outdoors

And rocks and streams you do explore

Start hunting for the old remains

And hardened fossils you'll obtain
