14 DAY TRIAL // The 300-million-year-old fossils of an amphibian that died while trying to eat lunch will be auctioned off this coming October 20 by Heritage Auctions in Dallas, Texas.
'Cause nothing says “I love you” quite like giving someone the remains of an ancient creature whose appetite was too big for its own good does.
Live Science tells us that, as far as paleontologists can tell, the predatory amphibian, i.e. a Sclerocephalus haeuseri, died while trying to eat another creature that was a tad smaller than itself, yet big enough not to slide down its throat all that easily.
Not to beat about the bush, this animal's demise was brought about by the fact that it chocked on its meal.
Due to the fact that they are incredibly rare, the fossil remains are expected to sell for $150,000 - $250,000 (€111,067 - €185,111).
