The oldest penis on record belongs to a 1-millimeter-long, 425-million-year-old crustacean known as an ostracod.

When Professor Siveter discovered it on a rock in 2003, the ash had saved the animal’s hard and soft tissue from disintegration or decay making the specimen “an exceptional preservation,” according to Professor Siveter inpacked a big surprise.
