A tiny tumor likely caused a big toothache 255 million years ago for an animal called a gorgonopsian.
The animal was a distant relative of modern mammals that lived before dinosaurs walked the Earth, and the new discovery shows that these tumors existed long before mammals evolved, according to the researchers who found the tumor.
