"Frozen in Time: Epic Battle Between Dinosaur and Mammal Revealed by Remarkable Fossil"

TL;DR Summary
A remarkable fossil discovered in China shows a small mammal, Repenomamus robustus, engaged in an epic battle with a larger dinosaur, Psittacosaurus lujiatunensis, suggesting that smaller mammals may have hunted and successfully preyed on dinosaurs. The fossil, dating back 125 million years, reveals the mammal gripping the dinosaur's jaw and leg while biting into its rib cage, indicating that it was likely preying on the dinosaur rather than scavenging its carcass. The unique preservation of the intertwined creatures suggests that such encounters may have occurred more frequently than previously thought.
