Excellent -- what a great story of the development of paleontology/geology/archeology. Joggins cliffs, not far from us on the Bay of Fundy, was first explored and described scientifically by Charles Lyell, on of your cast of characters.

Can't believe you brought food into fossils -- cheese wheels, slugs, blue flies -- wow, talk about links! Love it!

Got to love the narrative. Great work.

Thank you!

I will forever support this brand simply because you have proven fossil fuels aren't because they're made out of dinosaurs. Thank you, you are a gentleman and a scholar. (seriously this is one of the biggest misinformation strings in common thought and I hate it LOL)

Ha! Glad I could oblige. It’s not really a surprising idea, but definitely incorrect! :)
