not fossils per se. just old dicks.
Shown here are two examples of genital ornamentation. These particular phalli have been carved from ivory. The statuette on the left, its shaft bedecked with 6 series of equidistant dots, was recovered from Germany's famous Vogelherd cave. It is estimated to be over 30,000 years old, and is quite possibly the most ancient decorated phallus on record.
The phallus on the right was discovered in the Mas d'Azil cave, located in southwestern France, and is one of the most richly decorated phalli ever recovered. "This phallus, aged approximately 14,000 years, has the anatomical details depicted and is fully decorated."
