BUG DINOSAURS FOSSILS
PARIS - Apparently, the lice have inhabited the earth since the time of the dinosaurs. At 150 million years ago, dinosaurs coexisted withblood voracious giant bugs. Palaentolog from China and Francefound the fossil of the flea in the Inner Mongolia and Liaoningprovinces. A number of fossils over 9 lice were found.
If the infestation is currently only measuring approximately 5 mm, theprimordial female ticks were found in larger sizes. Measuring 2 cm in females while the males measuring 1.5 cm. The study alsorevealed that it was an ancient bug has wings. Unlike the currentfleas, lice can not jump too early and have small mouths.
Fleas are very well adapted to the ancient environment. These mites have claws sharp enough to survive on the surface of thereptile's body at the time. Fleas also have a blood-sucking structure.Fleas are one animal that is able to adapt well when dinosaursbecame extinct. Of reptiles, ancient lice suck blood from mammals.In the process of evolution, then the smaller tick size.
The study, led by Andre Nel of the National Museum of NaturalHistory Paris was published in the journal Nature on Wednesday(29/02/2012).
