Mark McMenamin, a paleontologist and professor from Mount Holyoke College, proposed a theory last week that has been raising some eyebrows. For years a set of fossils have perplexed scientist and paleontologists alike. These remains were found in Nevada and are believed to be that of an ichthyosaurs and experts are hard pressed to find an explanation to their positioning and location. The fossils are arranged in a geometric pattern, resembling art or at the very least an appealing arrangement of bones. McMenamin has proposed that these fossils were placed there by a Kraken. Not only this, but he also believes that it then took pleasure or attempted to amuse itself by arranging them how they are now. Many are skeptical as the Kraken is not only fictitious, but the idea that it was creating Monet's millions of years before Claude's time tends to draw attention. He didn't expect the sort of coverage he received but he is sticking to his bold claim saying this was no accident, the arrangement was intentional.
