Sediment Quotations
For fossils to thrive, certain favorable circumstances are required. First of all, of course, remnants of life have to be there. These then need to be washed over with water as soon as possible, so that the bones are covered with a layer of sediment.

Salvatore Quasimodo We can see cities during the day and at night, and we can watch rivers dump sediment into the ocean, and see hurricanes form. Sally Ride Furthermore, both Pennsylvania and New Jersey Departments of Environmental Protection have evaluated the sediment to be dredged and also found it to be not toxic. Robert Brady |
