Archeologist Justin Cramer recently discovered a set of fossils which were reportedly not really underground, but sitting under a pile of leaves in his backyard. Although Cramer is unable to identify the origin of these fossils, he believes that they are from some type of prehistoric creature that roamed the Earth nearly 40 years ago.

Cramer told sources, “This is a huge step forward in understanding the Earth’s history as well as the early form of man.” He continued by stating, “Most don’t believe that there was life on Earth that many years ago, but this is irrefutable evidence supporting the fact that man existed prior to 1970, possibly even earlier.”

He also told sources that mixed in with the fossils was some type of collar, which read, “Mr. Skittles, 1180 Peachtree Lane, Charlotte, SC.'” Based on the structure and position of the bones, analysts have created the computer generated image located below of what Mr. Skittles may have looked like. Cramer concluded by stating, “What in God’s name is that thing? Did we evolve from Mr. Skittles? Does the candy company Skittles know more about human existence than they’re willing to admit? You be the judge…”
