I agree that anomalies are vital to any story(especially fantasies). The thought of the unknown brings many questions to mind. One very huge anomaly that I have not seen mentioned is Ungoliant. The knowledge of beings on the rim of the earth with enough power to contend even with a Valar(Melkor) is disturbing and intriguing. Elrond also states in the FotR that even the sea may hold unknown creatures of evil. Without these anomalies, the LotR might have turned out quite differently.(But much less exciting)
