The year is not quite exhausted, however, leaving enough hope that one may still yet unearth something truly wonderful in the waning days of December.
However, I am certain that this one find (mentioned tangentially in the above top 10 list), will be hard to top:
Gilbert TP et al. DNA from Pre-Clovis Human Coprolites in Oregon, North America. Science 2008; 320 (5877): 786-789. DOI: 10.1126/science.1154116
http://www.scienceonline.org/cgi/content/abstract/320/5877/786
The interested reader may search for the images of the artefacts via the usual routes; I have a strict no-fæces-images rule for this site.
And if one of my readers does come upon something to challenge the abovementioned top ten discoveries, or even the coprolites, please forward the details straightaway. You may use your judgement in forwarding actual samples.

Wonderful. I had missed some of these over the year. Thank you for pointing to the summary.
