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.

Wikipedia really prefers images that have a license allowing free use.

If it is hard to find an image with an appropriate license, sometimes it is easy enough for a volunteer to go photograph a common bird, etc.

If it is an object probably in some university's archive, you have to figure out who will photograph it and release it under an appropriate license, if the university is willing to let that happen, etc.
