Ancient Three-Way Predator Link Revealed in Cretaceous Seas
Australian paleontologists report that a 6–7 m ichthyosaur, Platypterygius australis, had two pterosaur jaw fragments preserved in its stomach, the first direct evidence of an ichthyosaur preying on a pterosaur, with Kronosaurus queenslandicus likely delivering a lethal bite to the carcass, capturing a rare three-tier predator sequence in the Cretaceous Eromanga Sea.
