I've backed myself into a corner, so engrossed was I in the spreading pool of her life's blood. Thick, with an underlying sweetness and the tang of iron in the air. The smile cut across her throat, the great facilitator of this show, has finally begun to run dry. How will I ever get the stain out?
The Accidental Fossil Discoveries
When I was around 8, I kept making all kinds of accidental discoveries. I'd sit in an enormous pile of rocks near the family's swimming pool and would keep,seeing what looked like giant sharks teeth. I also kept seeing something small with a square-like pattern on it. I actually discovered fossils. The giant sharks teeth were actually horn coral and the other fossils were a type of small sponge.
The reason I kept making these accidental discoveries was because the horn coral and sponges had an unusual appearance to them. To this day, I still have these fossils. I'm glad that I made these discoveries. Maybe they weren't accidental!
My other two favorite discoveries was an iron nodule and a Neolithic scraper. I found the Neolithic scraper by accident for sure. I was 8 when I found it at the Nature Center. It was sitting in a shallow creek.
The iron nodule was also found by mistake. I was looking around on the ground in a field that had construction being done at it for building houses at. I was a nanny at the time and the two boys I cared for were also looking around. They didn't really find anything but I'm glad I did. I thought that the iron nodule was a fallen meteo but looked it up and is how I found out what it really was.
Were these accidental discoveries? Perhaps they were meant to be. To this day, I still continue to find great unusual discoveries which is great. I even once found what looked like a small dinosaur beak at one of my aunt's houses, but found out that it was actually a piece of slag. I still treasure it anyway because of what I thought it was. I treasure anything that I find and still look forward to the day when I discover a piece of dinosaur bone.
