Link has a photo of the skull.

There's an interesting theory that explains these types of findings by the possibility of a polar shift -- the crust of the earth moving from temperate latitudes to the poles from time to time.

Pictures of the skull, sent over e-mail, have prompted residents to speculate whether the skull might belong to a long-extinct deer or sheep that inhabited the land millions of years ago when the climate was much warmer. Hey why not, "scientists" do it all the time.

In Velikovsky's Worlds in Collision, he basically says that meteor or astroid strikes (or near strikes) may have knocked the earth of its axis in fairly short and violent order.

I think it is a Jackalope
Seriously, it is probably one of many species wiped out by Global cooling. You can do your part to combat global cooling by buying an SUV today.

Hilarious article! The last line is a capper- "Warm weather that researchers link to the climate change continues to break records in the artic as more southern species venture farther north." What do newly discovered fossils have to do with such a proclamation? Damn- I just may have outlived, my own stupidity- then again...?

A mysterious skull (shown) discovered on the edge of the Arctic Circle has sparked interest in what creatures roamed Baffin Island in the distant past, and what life a warming climate may support in the future. (CP/HO/Uqqurmiut Centre for Arts and Crafts) |

"In Velikovsky's Worlds in Collision, he basically says that meteor or astroid strikes (or near strikes) may have knocked the earth of its axis in fairly short and violent order."Velikovsky was a kook. He also wrote a book "Twelfth Planet (I think)" that contends that there is a planet in an excentric orbit that brings it close to earth every 10,000 years. The inhabitants of this planet visit us at that time. They are Von Daniken's gods in space-ships. Velikovsky, like Von Daniken, never worries about evidence, or science when it comes to proposing his theories."

This could be the cause for current climate change. Who are they going to blame this on?

"This April, researchers announced another big discovery on Ellesmere Island - a strange creature, part fish and part alligator, which could have been the first to crawl from the oceans to shore 375 million years ago." It's no telling where this land mass was 375 million years ago, someone knows but I don't. It was only 120 million years ago that Africa was still attached to South America. So...

Velikovsky, like Von Daniken, never worries about evidence, or science when it comes to proposing his theories."If I remember correctly, he used ancient folklore and legend along with his brand of scientific investigation to come up with his hypothesies. Kook that he was, he did raise some interesting thought and possibilities. BTW, I'm not a subscriber to his views, but don't discount everything he wrote. I didn't read Twelfth Planet.
