I choose this news because it is unbelieveable news that we can find a frog skeleton which has very good quality same as the past.

SANDA, Hyogo - nearly complete skeleton was found frogs prehistoric sites in Tanba, Hyogo Prefecture, the local museum announced on August 5. Skeleton found in the depths of "group Sasayama "lingerie fossil Tanba, Hyogo Prefecture, which dates back about 110 million years, it is the first time a complete or nearly complete frog skeletons from the period Cretaceous early (from about 140 million to 100 million years ago) in the country. and 13 only found in the world.
The announcement comes from the Museum of Nature and Human Activities, Hyogo Tadahiro Ikeda research the museum, said: "It is very important for research, evolution of the frog is also a useful resource for recreating the environment of the 'dinosaur Tanba '"refers to 2006 to find dinosaur fossils in the same area. Fossil frog was discovered while cleaning stone removed from the site in the second round of excavations of the "Dinosaur Tanba" in late 2007 and early 2008 around three centimeters long, including skeletal skull and almost complete completed, except foot Has been identified as owned. Leiopelmatidae. Frog family legacy. Fossil will introduce at the meeting of the Association of Vertebrate Paleontology in Pennsylvania was held from October 10 to October 13. In the past several frog fossil fragments found in excavation sites nearly complete skeleton was found. Skeleton will be viewed by the public museum of August 7 to September 5.

In my opinion, we should study about skeletons or fossil to find the answer and improve our knowledge about them.
