  1. The proof is in the teeth. scientists say fossilized teeth prove mammals vanished from Africa & the Arabian Peninsula in a mass extinction 30M yrs ago that nobody knew about. They reappeared much later w/ a new look. 📷 M. Borths/Duke

    Dental CT scans show that mammal teeth became less diverse during the early Oligocene extinction events. This 3D tooth shape is of the lower molar of a rodent (Shazurus minutus) fossil in the anomaluroid family. The specimen is from the earliest late Eocene (approximately 37 million years ago) and was found in the Fayum Depression of northern Egypt.
