WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) – An anthropology professor found a fossil and thought, it’s old, it’s got big lips…Mick Jagger!

Wake Forest associate professor Ellen Miller named a swamp-dwelling creature that lived 19 million years ago in Africa after Jagger.

Its official name is Jaggermeryx naida, which means “Jagger’s water nymph.”

The creature is described as the size of a deer and it looked like a cross between a long-legged pig and a slender hippo.

Miller says she considered naming the fossil after Angelina Jolie, but naming it for Jagger was a no-brainer.

Miller is co-author of a paper that appears in the September issue of the Journal of Paleontology.
