Fossil Squid Drawn with Own Ink

We haven’t done a squid post in ages.
Paleontologists digging at a Victorian excavation in Trowbridge, UK unearthed a 150-million-year-old squid (Belemnotheutis antiquus) whose ink sac was so well-preserved that they were able to reconstitute it and draw a picture of it using its own ink. Which is either really cool or the final indignity; I’m not sure which.

And yet I could not recover some lost files from a computer crash…
