Life in the ancient Arctic: Tiny teeth of newly discovered species suggest it was a cradle of mammalian evolution

A fossil mammal tooth smaller than a grain of rice does not announce itself loudly. It must be hard won from sediment and stone. Then, under a microscope, it reveals itself—no longer just a speck of blackness but a surface ...
