Another 'spode find. Scientists reported on October 23, 2003 that they had found the first evidence of a brain tumor in a dinosaur, in the fossilized remains of a creature that lived 72 million years ago in present-day Montana. 'Although we haven't conclusively identified the type of brain tumor found in this specimen, we are sure the tumor impaired the mobility of the dinosaur,' said Rachel Reams, a veterinary pathologist at Eli Lilly and Co. who participated in the research.

Interesting!
