The creature's head is about the size of a large house cat, and it was estimated to be anywhwere from 3-4 feet long. The creature is entirly new to science, and is somewhat like a cross between a crocodile and a salamander. Read the full story here

Eeeyeeeeee! Nice find

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

Heres to accidents! *holds up a mug of mead*

i love fossils. i have heaps that were given to me that i need to get identified.


accidents are cool btw, hehe i was an accident.

Well, Salem, there's nothing accidental about how cool you are BTW, you should go get those fossils examined, you never know what might turn up!

Great find Monsta. .Very interesting creature...

BTW,I have fossils too In the first two pics,all the fossils there are at least 300 million years old.(2 omynites and a trilobite) The others of fossilized sharks teeth,are all at least 60 million years old.

oh i thought it was going to be an animal that was alive now...

i mean imagine something like that around now....

I thought it was still alive too. Oh well, good find...

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

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..."

Well Fluffy, I HAD to lure them in somehow But did you see the teeth on that thing? I bet it was vicious

Very good find Monster!!

You got my interest with that title!!
