The Three Fossilteers

The Messel Pit in Germany
Has fossils for humans to find.
A three for one was found to be -
Snake, lizard and bug in a bind.
Fate meant for the threesome to meet.
The bug was minding its own biz,
When the lizard grabbed it to eat.
The lizard's belly the bug is
When the lizard was swallowed whole,
By the snake slithering to take
The dinner party to their goal -
Fatally falling in the lake.

Messel Pit preserved this trio,
Forty eight million years ago.
