Top Ten Creepy Fossils of 2006

At Cryptomundo, Loren Coleman posted a wonderfully weird list of his “Top Ten Creepy Fossil Finds of 2006.” From his post:

1. Volaticotherium antiquus – Ancient Gliding Beast.

Discovered in Mongolia, this little half a pound squirrel-like animal is a whole new order of animals. It is a mammal that glided 70 million years before any other mammals–and maybe before birds flew.
