That’s kind of cool,’” Moore told the outlet.“I thought it was a big catfish skeleton or a deer skeleton. Something told me to take a picture of this.”Moore shared pictures of the object online, WOWT said, and someone reached out to suggest that it could be a prehistoric fossil

The fisherman later contacted a biologist with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, who confirmed to WOWT that Moore’s find seems to be a predator fish fossil that is up to 90 million years old.“I’m still kind of mind-blown about the whole thing,” Moore said.The fossil won’t be underwater anymore, as it’s now being prepared for display at the Lewis and Clark Visitor Center in Crofton, Nebraska.Related...Jared Kushner Stays In Shape In Preparation To 'Live Forever'Papa John's Launched A Weird New 'Craving,' And Pizza Lovers Aren't Having ItRepublicans’ Response To The FBI Raiding Trump’s House: Talk About The IRS!
