yeah, and to think it was discovered by a complete accident. Plus this species was unknown until now.

Well.. that's how the first Dino bones were discovered.. That's how alot of things are.. by accedent.

doughnuts were invented by accident...as well as coca-cola, and it seems this thing was also discovered by accident, just goes to show, accidents aren't necessarily bad things

i dont count those as fossils, per se, considering you can find them everywhere....just by walking down the beach...

A giant, vicious Salamander

For some reason this made me laugh. All I could think of was Dr. Evil's Ill-tempered sea bass since he couldn't get the "Sharks with Lazer beams on their foreheads..."
