Re: Ancient paleontology
I also thought it interesting that dinosaur and other thigh bone fossils look very similar to human thigh bones. Could this be the source of the giant myths? Notice also the myths about things turning other things to stone. (gorgons, basilisks) Could this be in response to finding bones turned to stone? With the author finding notes about throwing away fossil bones when unearthing Greek temples, it makes a strong case that the Greeks and others found fossils.

Re: Ancient paleontology
You are referring to more recent and better documented cases of fossils. They are good examples of how people use the fossils to make up myths. Do you have anything on ancient Greeks or Chinese finding these fossils. I believe that the island of Samos? is known for having fossils appear after erosive events and it is theorized that it was a source for the Greek temple fossils. Possibly even the drawing on the vase. Wasn't Crete a source of mammoth bones and that is why the Oddessey locates the cyclops there? Have you documented those sources? No, I didn't know about the ammonites. Carving snake heads on them is a hoot.
