conceptual organization for the stonework

Am thinking there will be 3-7 fossils engraved in the Seven Stones representing significant climatological shifts during 3 main geologic eras: Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic.  As icons of evolutionary development during a particular Period, each fossil will represent typical life forms ranging from Cambrian trilobites to Jurassic reptiles to Quaternary mammals.  Reading it as a linear equation, it may provide clues as to what's next?

Since these will be placed relatively low on each stone, it will reward children and those who linger and play upon the sculptural installation.  I plan to provide an online 'key' as part of the website we'll design for the overall project.
