fossils, and folk art

in college, i defected from geology and fared better in astronomy to meet my science requirement.
if only i had seen it all through the eyes of Orra White Hitchcock!  how divine! 



" ... in nature there is wisdom, system, and consistency. ... the result, therefore, of our enquiry is, that we find no vestige of a beginning, no prospect of an end."  James Hutton, Theory of the Earth, 1785. 








why may we not add geology to the list of poetical sciences?
