Loch Ness, Scotland - Remember the story I posted about the fossil of a plesiosaurus? The fossil was found in the waters of the Loch and everyone was excited that it was evidence that there is a monster. Well, turns out some scientists have been looking over the fossil and, like they said originally, it is a fossil piece of a plesiosaurus but it couldn't have originated in the Loch. Turns out the fossil looks like it came from the sea because of evidence of sponge organisms. The Loch is fresh water and couldn't support the sponges that leave behind holes in the rocks they attach too. So someone left it in the Loch to be found or perhaps just dropped it by mistake (yeah, a big mistake). Ah, Nessie, you big blurry beast. You continue to sucke... mystify and evade.
