Mr. Parr - Fossils Come From Ground lyrics

Open ground it contains rocks
Search them out, come on, dig it up

Here we go in the floor shoveling begins
Cause fossils being formed lay in sediments
Dating layers we’re told – superposition
For deep down rock is older, new at surface

Sometimes the soil they are in
And you know how they lived
Yeah, you know what they is
Sometimes you got to dig in, in

Fossils come from ground
Empty space is mold now
Minerals fill cast out
Footprints trace fossils are found
Petrified – stone hard
Minerals will fill out
Spacеs pushing air now
We find fossils preservеd out
Freezing in soil mounds bugs-amber surrounds

Layers come and you know that
They build this way
Close in lines let’s compare
It's relative age need to know age before –
Absolute is the gauge
Index fossils that’s right helps
To set the date

Sometimes the soil they are in
And you know how they lived
Yeah, you know what they is
Sometimes you got to dig in, in

Fossils come from ground
Empty space is mold now
Minerals fill cast out
Footprints trace fossils are found
Petrified – stone hard
Minerals will fill out
Spaces pushing air now
We find fossils preserved out
Freezing in soil mounds bugs-amber surrounds

Digging in a spot of the earth, the crust
The land
Providing evidence of life going way back
And clues found of our
Home – environments had
Sediments are covering land
They can form in the past
Petrified, carbon films, mold, and cast
The fossil record shows us
The animals going back
Another is the changes organisms have had
It’s fossils, that’s the facts

Fossils come from ground
Empty space is mold now
Minerals fill cast out
Footprints trace fossils are found
Petrified – stone hard
Minerals will fill out
Spaces pushing air now
We find fossils preserved out
Freezing in soil mounds bugs-amber surrounds

Fossils come from ground it’s from ground
