New Dinosaur Fossils Found in China

Scientists have found new dinosaur fossils in China. The fossils are small, sparrow sized, toothless, and have carved toes. Despite their small size, they strongly resemble pterodactyls. They supposedly spent most of their time living in trees. Pterodactyls are widely known for being giant flying reptiles and most of their fossils have been found around costal areas.

The new fossil has been named Nemicolopterus cryptic, meaning hidden flying forest dweller. It was found in the western part of China’s Liaoning province, which is a region that had forests 120 million years ago. The fossil had attachments for muscles so that it could grasp limbs. It didn’t have any teeth, unlike most pterodactyls, and probably ate insects.

Stress Weakens Teeth

In Brazil, 14 tests were done that showed that stressed-out people have a higher risk of periodontal disease. Also, increased levels of the stress hormone, called cortisol, might have a negative effect on the immune system and allow bacteria to invade the gums. You can lower stress levels by exercising and sleeping more.

Man Accused of Stealing False Teeth

In Yorktown, IN that a man named, Robert Henry Stahl, was accused of taking another man’s, Billie Towsend’s, false teeth from his mouth during a fight. Billie told the police that he went to a bar to pay Robert the money he owed him but Robert asked him to go outside and then started punching him. Robert put Henry in a headlock and took out his false teeth and told him that he wasn’t going to give them back.
Robert Stahl has been charged this past Thursday in a Delaware Circuit Court with felony robbery and battery causing bodily injury. He could face between two to eight years in prison
