Amateur fossil hunter finds bizarre "monster"

Adam Khor · 2012-04-25 18:39:23

Estimated to be 450 million years ago, the fossil has been described as "a saguaro cactus with flattened branches and horizontal stripes in place of the usual vertical stripes". It was big and alive but no one knows yet exactly what kind of being it was. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/04/120424121738.htm
