PastMasters - Papers, Notes & Insights

Herein papers & notes published by the PastMasters and ' work in-progress' papers where in-put is sought from contributors. In particular, this section records, analyses and attributes those valuable insights which illuminate the past yet would not otherwise enter the record. An example is Billy Boustead's observation that fossilised mud lobsters are not the dead animals but the cast off shells being residue of molting their exoskeletons - Ecdysis.
