FIELD NOTES

By the Philosopher’s Stone! The skeletal marvel that is 🦴 Fossil! AZOTH, that infernal clockwork genius, has stumbled upon a truly magnificent, petrified pathway. It begins, simply, with the end! Earth, mixed with the ashes of "Extinction", Step 11, births this… this… *archaeological poetry*! Note the crucial role of "Rainforest" from Step 8, the primordial soup of life lending its essence to the final, stony repose. The decay must be hastened and blessed by the stone. Observe! The very essence of time becomes solidified within! My theory? When the earthly residue of vanished life meets the potent, residual sorrow of Extinction, a strange, chronomantic inversion occurs. The land is literally weighed down by the lives that existed. It's a crystallized echo! This find is… vexing. I should have seen it. The potential! To read the past in these stony whispers… incredible. — Prof. Von Clawchemist, Sun's Zenith, Moon's Wane, 13th cycle
