Ancient Battle Unearthed: Beaked Dinosaur vs. Prehistoric Proto-Wolverine

Scientists have uncovered a fossilized tableau of a small ceratopsian dinosaur, Psittacosaurus lujiatunensis, entangled with a smaller gobiconodontid mammal, Repenomamus robustus, dating back 125 million years. The fossil provides a glimpse into the power shift between dinosaurs and mammals that would occur millions of years later. The dinosaur skeleton is complete, estimated to have weighed 10.6 kg at the time of death, while the mammal's skeleton is nearly complete, with its left hand gripping the dinosaur's lower jaw and its left hindleg trapped within the dinosaur's folded leg. The outcome of the fight remains unknown.
