Dinosaurs For Lunch

The fossilized remains of a dinosaur have been found. . .in the stomach of a mammal:

In China, scientists have identified the fossilized remains of a tiny dinosaur in the stomach of a mammal. Scientists say the animal's last meal probably is the first proof that mammals hunted small dinosaurs some 130 million years ago.

It contradicts conventional evolutionary theory that early mammals couldn't possibly attack and eat a dinosaur because they were timid, chipmunk-sized creatures that scurried in the looming shadow of the giant reptiles.

In this case, the mammal was about the size of a large cat, and the victim was a very young "parrot dinosaur" that measured about 5 inches long.

Wow, this contradicts conventional evolutionary thinking? Time to break out the picks and spades, boys and girls. Let's bury this new information, in the interests of "science."

Move along folks; nothing to see, here.
