She may have known their histories, in fact i would be shocked if she did not, but she may just not twigged when the slug mentioned “the bones of the sea” . It’s a pretty obscure way to refer to an ammonite.
Darn, I didn’t even connect the bones of the sea to the ammonite, I was thinking more like Chalk, which is the still-calciferous remains of such things as nautilus shells (yay for The Wee Free Men putting me in a misleading mindset!) or more literal bones, like a dead… god… *glances at comic tagline* …of or in the sea… hrm…
Aha, and so the plot thickens!
She knows their names encyclopedically, but of their histories, nothing.

Bloody prophesy.
It’s funny that Mani said that because I clicked my fingers right after I saw that last panel without really thinking about it.
“The bones of the sea” could also have been coral, so it was an honest mistake.
the slug was only passing on the prophecy from the aspen, I never did trust aspen’s
I’m probably barking up the wrong tree, I should just leaf it alone
dun-DUHN

This is my second read-through, and I still didn’t see it coming.
Werepixi, you’re on thin ice there buddy.
I’ll just go out here and say I missed it, possibly from too much Pratchett. ^_^ I was expecting chalk.
