"Frozen in Time: Epic Battle Between Dinosaur and Mammal Revealed in Remarkable Fossil"
A remarkable 125 million-year-old fossil discovered in China shows a small mammal, Repenomamus robustus, engaged in an epic battle with a larger dinosaur, Psittacosaurus lujiatunensis. The fossil suggests that smaller mammals may have hunted and successfully preyed on dinosaurs more frequently than previously thought. The positioning of the mammal on top of the dinosaur, lack of bite marks on the dinosaur's skeleton, and the grasping and biting actions of the mammal indicate that it was preying on the weaker dinosaur, which was three times its size. This fossil provides valuable insights into the interactions between dinosaurs and mammals during the Cretaceous period.
