Scientists have found a 67 million-year-old fossil of a snake coiled around dinosaur eggs and a hatchling. This is the first evidence of snakes eating dinosaurs.

?It?s a stunning, once-in-a-lifetime find,? said paleontologist Paul Sereno of the University of Chicago, who was not involved in the study. ?We?ve caught one of the rarest moments in the fossil record, which is prey and predator, together.?

Wired is an awesome mag but what is the big deal with this? I don't get it. Snakes eating eggs, not the least bit surprising.

According to the article:

"Unluckily for the snake, that moment was frozen in time because a landslide buried the site right then, Wilson said".

from the publication:

Quote:

Snakes first appear in the fossil record towards the end of the dinosaur era, approximately 98 million years ago. Snake fossils from that time are fragmentary, usually consisting of parts of the backbone. Relatively complete snake fossils preserving skulls and occasionally hindlimbs are quite rare and have only been found in marine sediments in Afro-Arabia and Europe or in terrestrial sediments in South America. Early snake phylogeny remains controversial, in part because of the paucity of early fossils. We describe a new 3.5-m-long snake from the Late Cretaceous of western India that is preserved in an extraordinary setting?within a sauropod dinosaur nest, coiled around an egg and adjacent the remains of a ca. 0.5-m-long hatchling. Other snake-egg associations at the same site suggest that the new snake frequented nesting grounds and preyed on hatchling sauropods. We named this new snake Sanajeh indicus because of its provenance and its somewhat limited oral gape. Sanajeh broadens the geographical distribution of early snakes and helps resolve their phylogenetic affinities. We conclude that large body size and jaw mobility afforded some early snakes a greater diversity of prey items than previously suspected.

So I guess, it's the rarety of the find that is novel, as well as it being a 3.5m snake that cannot dislocate its jaw "eating" 0.5m hatchlings.

67 million-year-old?

How can they tell the age? That's impossible.

absolute dating, also known as carbon-14 dating, relies upon the availability of enough organic material being present in the fossil to measure a radioactive isotope and its by-product, carbon-14. Since the rate of expiration of the isotope is known to be constant, the scientist can tell a fossil's age by comparing the amount of isotope present to the amount of the by-product. This method can be used to date fossils up to 40,000 years old. Older specimens are dated by measuring other by-products, such as uranium-235.
