25 Most BIZARRE FOSSILS Ever Discovered

Published on Jan 16, 2017
What's the most bizarre fossil you can think of? Is it the T-rex fossil? Maybe it's the Stegosaurus fossil. These imprints are some of the Earth's most useful prehistoric remnants, giving us a window to the daily life of creatures which lived millions of years ago. It has become a common sight to see popular fossils such as those of Stegosaurus and Tyrannosaurus Rex in museums, but what is much less known are the many strange and bizarre fossils which paleontologists have discovered, especially recently. These fossils have been kept - whether by ash or amber or sand - in a state clear enough for us to study and learn from.

I had the good fortune to visit the dinosaur fossil areas of Utah, a spectacular learning event.
