Megalosaurus
In the Middle Jurassic Period, there was a meat-eating theropod genus called Megalosaurus. Experts have found definitive fossils in Oxfordshire, England. However, there have been unconfirmed fossil discoveries in other areas as well. It had a height of 9.8 feet, a weight of 2,200 to 6,600 pounds, and a length of 30 feet. In 1676, Oxford professors thought that its partial femur came from a giant human. The animal was named in 1824. In 1843, the femur was confirmed to have come from them. A paleontologist called Richard Owen received credit for the identification. It is worth $30 to $40 million.

Sunghir Site
Local clay pit diggers did not expect to discover the Sungir Site in Vladimir, Russia! The Upper Paleolithic site is one of the earliest records of Homo sapiens in Eurasia. This settlement area was the burial site of the dead. They found four burial sites there. The first one held the remains of a man, while the second one had twin adolescent kids. The tombs were filled with red ochre, placed head to head, and decorated with spears, clothing, and ivory jewelry. Over 13,000 beads that represented 10,000 hours of work were interred with them. The kids were probably sacrificed, but no one knows the reason behind the ritual.
