Thank you for your time and critique jeremy. You have offered some good advice. I knew that 'frothy' might stick out like a fossilized thumb. I changed that sea adjective three times (foamy might have been in there). I think the line just needs a couple additional syllables. I can do with something else that has more utility. Land-locked may be a tongue-twist too.
Impressions was supposed to be a double entendre, as both a physical mold and human feelings, but the word is a bit passive.
I see what you mean about the process. I have done that with the wood, as petrifying is the replacement of living material with sediment. However, I shall see if I can do some more in that vein. I was probably more focused on including the four fossils than the actual metamorphosis itself. Much obliged for your read./Chris
