Summary:
A nearly 130-million-year-old
fossilized skull found in Utah is an Earth-shattering discovery in one respect.
The small fossil is evidence that the super-continental split likely occurred
more recently than scientists previously thought and that a group of
reptile-like mammals that bridge the reptile and mammal transition experienced
an unsuspected burst of evolution across several continents.
