Paleontologists have discovered an extraordinary fossil in China's Liaoning Province, known as the 'Dinosaur Pompeii,' featuring the entangled skeletons of a herbivorous Dinosaur and a smaller meat-eating mammal. The scene, frozen in time by a mudslide, provides evidence of predatory behavior by a mammal on a dinosaur. The mammal, known as Repenomamus, was known to prey on the dinosaur species Psittacosaurus, as evidenced by fossilized baby bones found in its stomach. The discovery suggests that Repenomamus was the aggressor in this encounter. The fossil beds are expected to yield more evidence of unknown species interactions.
