One time I found an intact skeleton of a large python that had eaten an antelope, but died with the antelope still inside. Cool. But this is even cooler:
A fossilized shark that swallowed a crocodile-like amphibian that, in turn, had gobbled up a fish has now been unearthed.This exceptional find marks the first time scientists have found direct evidence of such a complex, extinct food chain.
Well, maybe. The story is reported here, but I was turned onto it by this must-see post at Science Buzz.

Nifty antenna. Must be a wireless shark.

Oh, "must see?" Thanks for the kind words Greg. I do dig the idea that we are probably sitting on yet to be undiscovered mysteries in our museum collections.
