💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🦴🐟 A #fossil from #Australia’s #Cretaceous #Eromanga Sea captured a rare three-tier predator interaction: a #pterosaur eaten by an #ichthyosaur, then both consumed by a giant #pliosaur called '#Kronosaurus queenslandicus.'
Researchers used #neutron #tomography to identify pterosaur jawbones in the ichthyosaur’s fossilized stomach alongside crushing bite marks from the larger #predator.
