Fossils are not the ancient organisms themselves.2 On a coastal walk in Ireland most of the fossils evident in rocks are of marine animals without a vertebral column (invertebrates), such as sea- lilies, corals, and bivalves.3 In the Fenit area Crinoid Columnals and Ammonite are numerous. 1 Fossil Definition.

His parents had emigrated there from Cahiratrant, a village in West Kerry in 1902, and when Jimmy was 4 his family returned. I recorded his memories of his early days growing up in the village. His recollections were of Killfarmogue, Reenellen and Cahiratrant. He recounted all the local field names and the meanings associated with them. He recalled the major historical events which took place in his lifetime. He sighted the first solo transatlantic flight by Charles Lindbergh - the plane flew low over his house. He also spoke about the 'black flu', which had a devastating effect on the population. The recording finished with an introduction to his wife Kathleen Boland, who grew up on the foothills of Comaleigue.
