	Creature Catalog - Preview Creature
		The golden ammonite's shell is composed of pure solid gold, extracted from the sludgy silt of the ocean floor.
		Sages speculate that they must have a language based on touch, sound waves, tentacle sign language, or some other method, but there is no proof of such a thing.
		Somehow, the ammonite deposits the gold on the coiled wonder that the beast is known for.

	Berry (AR01) -- Grant -- Berry Secures Language to Address Water Resource Needs in the Cache River Basin
		Large masses of timber, silt, garbage, and other debris currently block the flow of the Cache River and contribute to heavy flooding during the rainy season.
		Congressman Berry was also able to secure language that would help the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers finish the study of water resource needs along the White River Basin which will lay the foundation for the Cache River flooding study.
		Congressman Berry will continue to work with Senators Blanche Lincoln and Mark Pryor to ensure that the study for the White River basin is included in the final version of the legislation.

	Indians of the Chattahoochee Valley Home
		One of the first white explorers and naturalists to the area, William Bartram, observed in the mid-1770's that "[the Yuchi) language was altogether and radically different from the Creek (or Muscogulge) tongue." (Kane and Keeton)
		Growing corn depletes the soil quickly, so tribes often settled near rivers so that the land would be restored by silt deposited after floods.
		The Yuchi were a separate tribe from the Creeks and probably arrived in the Fort Benning area more than 10 years before the Creeks.

	New York City Docks And Ships
		Venice with its hundred islands was filled in, made by deposits of river silt; whereas New York was cut out, hewn by the waters from the native rock, separated from the mainland by its tideways.
		The races of the earth seem to have sent representatives to it, each one speaking his own language.
		Venice, past or present, must be multiplied many times to reach up to New York; and even Liverpool with its one hundred and London with its two hundred miles of docks are out of the reckoning.
