Fossil Anomalies

Fossil anomalies are a term used by the Rathnir Paleontological Society to describe fossils that are in a setting or have features that cannot be explained. This is a catalogue of all known fossil anomalies.

There may be noticeable differences in classification, as the RPS and private sector of the field may use proprietary classification systems.

Anomaly Tyλ.039: Flying Fish
Anomaly Tyλ.039 is a fossil anomaly discovered in Tymarat in the side of a mountain by Dr. Malsiadae Kordonus Sc.D. and a group of students he was taking on an expedition in the area. After noticing a scar in a mountainside while approaching a river that had become famous for its abundance of small fish fossils, they decided to set up camp while the professor approached to take a sample. Crude testing revealed a composition dissimilar to the rest of the mountainside, requiring further investigation. The class set up a more permanent camp and began to clear an area, uncovering a fossil believed to be a wing. But indentations in the rock suggest the creature was marine in nature, causing confusion. Furthermore, two students had to be put on oxygen due to a high concentration of an unidentified halogen around the fossil. The Rathnir Palaeontological Society has committed professional avian and marine paleontologists to the site for further research.
