Yaouming, unseen, a graduate student who studies at the
American Museum of Natural History points to the the
fossil of a 130 million year-old mammal called
Repenomamus robustus with the remains of a very young
Psittacosaurus in its stomach Wednesday, Jan. 12, 2005
at the American Museum of Natural History in New York.
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 were timid,
chipmunk-sized creatures that scurried in the looming
shadow of the giant reptiles. (AP Photo/Frank Franklin

Creationist Point of View:
This
proves that mammals and dinosaurs were contemporaries.
Until this discovery there was no evidence of a mammal
preying on a dinosaur. This fossil (like the
others from this site) show that the death of this
animal was due to a catastrophic event like the Genesis
Flood. The speed of fossilization was quick enough
to preserve the stomach contents.
