telecom sector revenues are expected to surge 63% between FY16 and FY25 despite a broader consolidation that shrank the field from more than 10 private mobile operators to just three. Revenues stood at ₹1.7 lakh crore in FY16 with the sector having more than 10 private companies. This was before Reliance Jio made its debut the following year. Revenues are expected to touch ₹2.78 lakh crore in FY25 in an industry comprising only three private operators — Jio, Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea (Vi). The strong revenue growth will be driven by expected tariff hikes, a pick-up in conversions from 2G to higher revenue-yielding 4G/5G customers and users upgrading to higher value data plans.

280-million-year-old fossil, Tridentinosaurus antiquus, which has long been thought to be an important specimen for understanding the evolution of early reptiles. The fossil, found in the Italian Alps in 1931, was believed to belong to the reptile group Protorosauria. However, a recent study published in the journal Palaeontology suggests that this fossil may have been partly forged. The revelation comes after researchers conducted a microscopic analysis of the fossil, revealing that the texture and composition of the material did not match genuine fossilized soft tissues. They also used ultraviolet (UV) photography to determine that the entire specimen had been treated with some form of coating material. The study's findings indicate that the body outline of the fossil was artificially created to enhance its appearance, misleading previous researchers. Despite being celebrated and discussed in articles and books, the fossilized skin has never been thoroughly examined.
