Lizard fossil 100 million years old unearthed

Researchers have found a rare fossil of a reptile that lived 100 million years ago that shows undigested food in its gut, shedding light on how small and medium-sized reptiles preyed on other animals. The stomach contents of the fossilized lizard, Yabeinosaurus, contained a 13-centimeter-long crayfish, a species of crustacean popular on dining tables today, according to scientists from the China University of Geosciences. The discovery was published in the bimonthly journal Cretaceous Research. Yabeinosaurus is the first lizard species found in the Jehol Biota, an ecosystem in northeastern China that thrived between 133 and 120 million years ago.
