Two-Headed Reptile Fossil From Age of Dinosaurs Not new (it’s from 2006), but tell me if you’ve ever seen a cooler fossil than this? This is a condition called polycephaly, that is rare, but common enough to be found regularly in reptiles. But it is infrequent enough that the odds of catching one in a fossil is pretty amazing. OK, maybe not better than the fossilized copulating turtles, but close. (via National Geographic)

Two-Headed Reptile Fossil From Age of Dinosaurs

Not new (it’s from 2006), but tell me if you’ve ever seen a cooler fossil than this? This is a condition called polycephaly, that is rare, but common enough to be found regularly in reptiles. But it is infrequent enough that the odds of catching one in a fossil is pretty amazing.

OK, maybe not better than the fossilized copulating turtles, but close.
