This topic article (above) came to my attention because a search a week or so ago for “Chris McKay” of NASA brought up this one:

Atlantis???
Weelll, we know it isn’t Thailand.
8^)
Heh heh...
Not a chantlis.... ;’)
...and imagine, an entire country which revolves around fashionable neckware...
True, Atlantis could be in a galaxy far far away..
I didn’t either until I looked it up.
What is it?
It’s the skeleton of somethin’ or other. :’) At first I thought it might be a seal (dead, beached seals aren’t uncommon in Antarctica), but this looks a little long.
Crocodile?
Now wouldn't it be funny if...nah, it's just a pointy-headed seal...
If it’s fossil (and it doesn’t look like it, in my amateur opinion), it could be crocodile, otherwise probably not. :’)
Thanks for that link, Fred.
Truth is reliably stranger than fiction.
;-)
It was a seal.
It looks a little too good, eh?
Either a very large seal, or very small rocks.
