Kryostega
Kryostega is a large temnospondyl amphibian from the Early or Middle Triassic of Antarctica. The genus is based on a single specimen collected in 1986 by a team led by paleontologist William H. Hammer of Augustana College, and now housed in the collections of the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH 24419). The holotype consists of an incomplete snout, including portions of both the right and left premaxilla, a partial left maxilla, both lacrimals, a small portion of the left nasal, the vomer, and a fragment of the palatine. Many partial teeth are preserved, though most have been broken away at their bases. The preserved part of the skull measures 27 cm long and 21 cm wide, from which a total skull length on about one meter has been inferred (Sidor et al., 2008; p. 657). Total body length has been estimated at 4.57 meters. The specimen suffered some damage during excavation, and the ventral surface is better preserved than the dorsal side of the fossil. Presently, only a single species is recognized, K. colllinsoni, named in honor of Antarctic scientist Jim Collinson.

Krosstika
by: GWARWhat's that symbol above the oven
Beaming it's malice to all that we shove in
In the War Party we ake every side
United as one until everyone dies
Symbol of hatred, symbol of fear
The Krosstika proclaims our cause
Luring the humans with blood, sex, and beer
Don't worry, we take queers
The hour is nigh
Let the Krosstika fly
Let now the symbol define you
With a wave of raw hate
The Krosstika takes
The symbol is there to remind you
So we hold our rallies and give out free crack
Then we give guns to the poor
Our staffers are making obscene phone calls right now
Soon they wil kick down your door
Slaughter your family and then break for lunch
There's not a pair of dry pants in the bunch
The Swastika and the Bloody Old Cross
Two great hates that hate great together
I say to slay all and have not a care
I demand pillows stuffed with hair
The death of all humans on your world today
Specicide--a new word to say
Symbol of hatred, symbol of fear
The Krosstika proclaims our cause
Luring the humans with blood, sex, and beer
Sending them into the maw
It inspires you to kill
And even if you don't, then you know that it will
Slaking this thirst we'll kill billions or more
Slaves to eternal war
The Krosstika has one purpose
It was designed to enslave you
They were designed to inflame you
There is no lie to the flag that we fly
We don't pretend it can save you
We offer you death but a good one at that
It's only your life, after all
Two great hates that hate great together
Answer the Krosstika's call
The hour is nigh
Let the krosstika fly
Let now the symbol define you
With a wave of raw hate
The Krosstika takes
The symbol is there to remind you
