Squid Sighted In Northwest Arkansas!
OK, still giddy over the recent filming of the legendary (and bashful) giant squid, I giggled in delight when reading today of a fossilized ancestor of the giant beasty discovered up in Northwest Arkansas.
Brothers Brenten and Jerrod Stevens just disclosed their 2003 find of a 7-foot-long nautiloid - an antediluvian relative" to the giant squid - in west Washington County. They kept the discovery to themselves, they told the Northwest Arkansas Times, because about the same time three University of Arkansas students found an 8-foot nautiloid fossil near Fayetteville.
They recently chiseled the thing out of the ground and hope to one day donate it to an area museum.
