Gizmodo: Stupendously Preserved Fossil Shows Mammal Preying on Beaked Dinosaur https://gizmodo.com/preserved-fossil-mammal-preying-beaked-dinosaur-1850664541 #cretaceousmongolia #feathereddinosaurs #psittacosaurus #ceratopsians #jordanmallon #daliansaurus #lagerstatte #repenomamus #jeholbiota #dinosaur

The fossil record is not so simple. As Paul Olsen and Manja Hethke have pointed out, this is not what the fossil record suggests. In the Jehol Biota and elsewhere, clam shrimp like E. middendorfi are EVERYWHERE. Co-occurring with fish, in fact. The sedimentary characteristics suggest that this was not an ephemeral body of water, but a permanent body of water. #jeholbiota
