A Paleontology Poem by a Distance Earth Science Scholar
The Age of Fishes
By Teddy Reeves
Colorado Springs Mineralogical Society
In the age of fishes
The period was blazing,
The cooling plants were few,
The creatures were amazing.
On the land above
The air was thinner than today,
The mammals were none—
Much to my dismay.
The biggest underwater
Could not be beat,
Larger than three elephants,
Length: more than thirty feet!
The greatest jaws of old,
A mouth that could crush steel.
Delicacies of bone
Made for a great meal.
Dunkleosteus
If you had come upon one,
You should’ve started a will,
For your time left was none.

Welcome! This is the gateway to adventure and discovery
Through this blog pebble pups and junior members of the Colorado Springs Mineralogical Society can access their lessons, work on assignments and projects, and receive details about field trips in the Pikes Peak Region. This Internet program is also suitable for young people who are interested in Earth science but do not live near a rock club or gem and mineral society or for young people anywhere who want a deeper dive into these topics. The only requirement is that all participants must be members of the Colorado Springs Mineralogical Society and must fill out the CSMS membership form (under important websites) and send their registration and membership fee in. Steven Veatch is the senior instructor and will need an email from you with your name, address, phone number, and permission from your parents to participate in this program.
