Closeup of the stomach area of a fossil ichthyosaur, Guizhouichthyosaurus, showing part of the body of another large marine reptile. The ichthyosaur had swallowed its prey shortly before it died and was fossilized. This is the oldest known direct evidence of megapredation, or a large animal eating another large animal. (Da-Yong Jiang, et al.)

New computer modeling by Magali Billen, professor of earth and planetary sciences at UC Davis, shows why earthquakes on these sinking plates cluster at certain depths and could give insight into processes deep in the Earth.
