    Two-headed reptile fossil!

    "The skeleton of a young aquatic reptile, known as Sinohydrosaurus lingyuanensis, is the first fossil ever unearthed which has two heads and necks, showing that a developmental abnormality seen in modern snakes, turtles, lizards and crocodiles also afflicted their ancient forebears."

    Talk about a rare find!

    A pic of the fossil, by investigator Eric Buffetaut, can be viewed here.

    Special thanks to nutmeg.
