Dentistry from around 9000 years ago, recovered from an ancient cemetery in Pakistan. To treat tooth decay, ancient man used sophisticated drills that were fashioned out of tiny pieces of flint and used a tiny bow to spin them. The holes were drilled to perfection, although no fillings had been used. This makes dentistry at least 4000 years older than originally believed.

Fossil Fish Skull (Xiphanctinus audax, Cretaceous) -  Niobrara Formation, Kansas

This sinister looking skull once belonged to a predatory fish that dominated the Western Interior Seaway known as Xiphactinus which was much longer than any bony fish of today. The beast is represented here by just a skull and some post-cranial material, but the point gets across nonetheless.
