Palaeontology is the Aladdin's Lamp of Deserted and Lifeless Regions of Earth

Palaeontology is the Aladdin's lamp of the most deserted and lifeless regions of the earth; it touches the rocks and there spring forth in orderly succession the monarchs of the past and the ancient river streams and savannahs wherein they flourished. The rocks usually hide their story in the most difficult and inaccessible places.

Notes:

Revealing order and history from the barren rocks.
