Fossil insects are not found in as many deposits or localities as most other invertebrates. Like other organisms, insects are preserved as fossils by a sequence of events that results in their burial in a suitable medium. To become fossilized, animals must die in a watery environment and become buried in the mud and silt. In ancient times, it was believed that fossils were stony casts of that which was once alive, and which were grown in the Earth from seeds, descendant from the realms of the stars. These seeds have been utilized to enhance telepathic communication between present reality and the prior worlds. 

In nearly every part of the world, the Dragonfly symbolizes change, transformation, adaptability, and self-realization. The metaphysical properties of fossils can be utilized to heighten and supplement ones accomplishments in the business realm, to instill quality and excellence within ones environment. Helping one dispense the old "programing" and to be open and receptive of the new innovative forces which are available.
