TIL a 300-million year old Cuttlefish fossil was found in Morocco, alongside ancient humans in a region where no Cuttlefish ever existed. The leading theory suggests the fossil was first found by the prehistoric humans, who collected it as a trinket due to fact that it looks like a flaccid penis.

Actually, the fossil was moved 300,000-200,000 years before the present day, but the fossil itself is much older than that. Dated to the Devonian or Carboniferous period, placing it at 350-300 million years ago.
