Fossil Hunters
The project’s elementary:
find rock-types sedimentary
then look for marks of mystery
that tell Earth’s ancient history.
Some skeletons of bone turned stone
and eggshells left by creatures grown
much bigger than an elephant.
Were dinosaurs intelligent?
A lot of effort is exerted
digging rocks and getting dirtied
when you are a scientist
and proud Pal-e-ontologist.
Dinosaurs are awesome. And thanks to Paleontologists, we’ve recently learnt that some had fancy feathers or colourful collars – all through finding fantastic fossils.

What a great poem Celia. So many extension opportunities for children.
