Fossils

* Robert Plot misinterprets a piece of "Megalosaurus" thigh bone as belonging to an elephant brought to Britain when the region was under the control of the Roman Empire. Despite recognizing this find as a petirified bone, he would later make the curious claim that fossils were made by God to decorate the inside of the earth, and were thus never part of real animals.
