Fossil Feather Poem by Ima Ryma

Fossil Feather

Rating: 5.0


In 1861 there be
First fossil feather that was found
In Solnhofen south Germany,
Discovered buried underground.
Over from what animal grew
This feather very long ago?
Electron microscopes did do
Some close analysis to show -
Owner, an archaeopteryx.
This was a bird like dinosaur,
One of the first ones to affix
Feathers on it to help it soar.

Feathering enthusiasm,
The feather's at a museum.
