Ancient Squid Fossil Found... With Ink!



I am extremely excited about the news that an ancient squid fossil was found in the UK. What is especially mind-boggling is the fact that the palaeontologists who made the discovery were able to extract ink from the squid-fossil's ink sac and DRAW WITH IT!
