They found that some of these fish, all of which were subadults, would occasionally attempt to or accidentally swallow belemnites (squid-like cephalopods), leading to the Tharsis choking to death.

The international team of scientists used a new technique to scan rocks, finding more than 1,000 beaks of ancient cephalopods, suggesting that the animals dominated the oceans millions of years ago.

Using an advanced fossil discovery technique on Late Cretaceous rocks from Japan, researchers found elusive and ancient squid beak fossils proving that squids thrived while dinosaurs died.

Squids first appeared about 100 million years ago and quickly rose to become dominant predators in the ancient oceans, according to a study published in the journal Science.

The fossil belongs to a cephalopod from the genus Endoceras, though the species is still unknown, said Michael Kjelland, who teaches biology and agribusiness at Mayville State University.
