"I was stunned when I saw it," Wilson says, "because, sort of leaping out at me, were the peculiar articulations between the vertebrae of a snake, and so I had no idea that there would be a snake there but there it was sitting in front of me."

If it'd been a snake, it woulda bit me!

a baby dinosaur had just hatched from an egg, only to face an 11-foot-long snake waiting to devour it

ELEVEN FEET?!!! Amazing!!

the nest was buried in a sudden avalanche of mud or sand and everything was fossilized.

This reminds me of something, but I can't quite put my finger on it...
