Or maybe it was the scent of rotting flesh. Whatever the bait, once the predator was lured into the mud pit, it quickly forgot its prey. It thrashed futilely in the mire for a long while, but its legs couldn’t reach the bottom. Doomed, the animal slowly accepted its fate and succumbed to exposure, but not before its struggle attracted another predator to the pit, continuing the cycle of the death trap. Eventually the mud turned to stone, entombing its victims, stacked one on top of another, for 160 million years.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/35602E53-0AE3-441D-A9AC-76F2EF841DFB/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
