Chiribaya Pet Cemetery
Even cavemen are fond of dogs! Humans and canines formed a bond because of hunting. The pre-Columbian culture was a dog-friendly one in Peru. The Chiribaya Pet Cemetery had 82 dog tombs. It was located beside human mummy tombs! Mind you, the animals buried there died of old age. An anthropologist called Sonia Guillen said that they were beloved as they found blankets and treats in there. She said that they were “tanked” for their “familial contribution” and received the same respect that humans did.

Mosasaurus
This is a genius of squamate aquatic reptiles that were alive 99.6 to 66 million years ago. Mosasaurus went extinct during the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event, which is believed to be a meteorite impact. Its bones have been discovered along lake beds and riverbanks in Europe for centuries. There is insufficient research to find out what they were, so Europeans largely ignored them. It was the first fossil to be identified as having come from an extinct species. This gave the scientists the opportunity to recognize that the fossils belong to creatures from millions of years ago! The first one was found in the Netherlands and is worth $502,500.
