<p>United States former president and Republican&nbsp;presidential&nbsp;nominee Donald Trump is facing fresh accusations of groping a former model in the presence of late sexual abuser&nbsp;Jeffrey Epstein in Trump Tower in 1993.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Stacey Williams was a professional model in the 1990s and had for the first time been introduced to Trump by Epstein at a Christmas party in 1992.</p>

<p>Williams claimed that she had casually dated Epstein for some months and had found that "he and Donald were really, really good friends and spent a lot of time together."</p>

<p>Speaking about the groping incident to The Guardian, Williams said that in 1993, Epstein took her to Trump Tower where she faced the alleged sexual misconduct.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The former model said that moments after she entered the Trump Tower, the former president pulled her towards him and began groping her. Williams said that Trump placed his hands “all over my breasts” along with her waist and her buttocks.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Williams said at that moment she froze as she was “deeply confused” and further alleged that she saw Trump and Epstein smiling at each other.</p>

<h2><strong>Felt like a piece of meat in a “twisted game”, says Williams&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>Williams said that after the alleged incident she immediately left the Trump Tower and felt angry towards Epstein.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“Jeffrey and I left and he didn’t look at me or speak to me and I felt this seething rage around me, and when we got down to the sidewalk, he looked at me and just berated me, and said: ‘Why did you let him do that?’” Williams said on the Zoom call.</p>

<p>“He made me feel so disgusting and I remember being so utterly confused,” she added, further saying that she felt she was part of a “twisted game”.</p>

Trump accused of groping former model as Jeffrey Epstein watched the ‘twisted game’

<p>The officials in Hong Kong announced that for the first time, they have found fossils of dinosaurs on a remote and uninhabited island in the city.</p>

<p>In a statement, the government said that the fossils belonged to a large dinosaur from the Cretaceous period and were estimated to be 145 million to 66 million years old.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Scientists will carry out further studies to confirm the species of the dinosaur.</p>

<p>The rock was discovered on Port Island in the UNESCO Global Geopark in the north-eastern waters of the city and the fossils have been put on display at one of the shopping districts of Hong Kong.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In a statement, Secretary for Development Bernadette Linn Hon-ho said, “The discovery is of great significance and provides new evidence for research on palaeoecology in Hong Kong.”</p>

<p>According to the experts, the body of the dinosaur was probably buried using gravel and sand and had resurfaced after a large flood. It was again buried at the discovery site, the statement added.</p>

<h2><strong>Dinosaur's fossils to be put on a display</strong></h2>

<p>The fossil was discovered after the Antiquities and Monuments Office was alerted by the conservation department in March that some sedimentary rock appears to contain substances which look like vertebrate fossils. Earlier, only a dinosaur-era fish fossil was discovered in Hong Kong.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A palaeontologist with the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Professor Michael Pittman said that the fossil's discovery was an exciting moment for the city.</p>

<p>“Hong Kong is famous for being a built-up landscape, but half of it is a country park. In the countryside areas, most of what you see are dinosaur-era rocks, but it’s volcanic rocks – and they are bad places to find fossils because fossils just melt. But Port Island is one of the islands that has dinosaur-age rocks of the right type and right environment," he said.</p>

<p>“I’m hoping that looking at these fossils, we’ll see differences with ones from some of the famous sites in China like Sichuan and Yunnan. It could tell a really interesting story about the biogeography of the animals," Pittman added.</p>

First-ever dinosaur fossil unearthed in Hong Kong: Report

<p>A new fossil mammal, nearly the size of a muskrat, was found by a team of palaeontologists when they were scurrying through swamps during the Age of Dinosaurs.</p>

<p>The researchers, headed by the University of Colorado Boulder's Jaelyn Eberle, published the findings in the journal&nbsp;PLOS ONE on October 23.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The discovery was identified from a piece of jawbone and three&nbsp;molar teeth by Eberle and her colleagues and was named Heleocola piceanus.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to the researchers, the animal existed in Colorado roughly 70 to 75 million years ago and in those times, large portions of the American West were covered by a vast inland sea.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/science/80-million-year-old-fully-intact-smallest-dinosaur-eggs-unearthed-in-china-scientists-suggest-770133">80 million-year-old 'fully intact' smallest dinosaur eggs unearthed in China. Scientists suggest...</a></p>

<p>"Colorado is a great place to find fossils, but mammals from this time period tend to be pretty rare," said Eberle, who is the curator of fossil vertebrates at the CU Museum of Natural History and professor in the Department of Geological Sciences.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"So it's really neat to see this slice of time preserved in Colorado," he added.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>New fossil&nbsp;comparatively large for mammals: Researchers</strong></h2>

<p>In comparison to larger dinosaurs like the horned ancestors of Triceratops or tyrannosaurs, the new fossil found in Colorado was tiny and insignificant. Eberle said that it was comparatively large for mammals at the time.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Eberle further expressed her happiness that the town of Rangely, which was near Dinosaur National Monument, is getting its due.</p>

<p>"It's a small town, but, in my experience as a palaeontologist, a lot of cool things come out of rural environments. It's nice to see western Colorado have an exciting discovery," Eberle said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>For nearly 15 years, palaeontologists and co-authors of the new study John Foster and ReBecca Hunt-Foster have been visiting this part of the state to dig up fossils every summer.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"The region might have looked kind of like Louisiana," explained ReBecca Hunt-Foster, who is a palaeontologist at Dinosaur National Monument in Utah and western Colorado. "We see a lot of animals that were living in the water quite happily like sharks, rays and guitarfish," he added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>John Foster recalled that he first saw a bit of mammal jaw hidden beneath a slab of sandstone which he had found from the site in 2016. The measurement of the fossil was about an inch long.</p>

<p>"I said, 'Holy cow, that's huge,'" stated Foster, who is a scientist at the Utah Field House of Natural History State Park Museum in Vernal, Utah.</p>

"Colorado is a great place to find fossils, but mammals from this time period tend to be pretty rare," said Eberle, who is the curator of fossil vertebrates at the CU Museum of Natural History and professor in the Department of Geological Sciences. "So it's really neat to see this slice of time preserved in Colorado," he added. New fossil comparatively large for mammals: Researchers In comparison to larger dinosaurs like the horned ancestors of Triceratops or tyrannosaurs, the new fossil found in Colorado was tiny and insignificant. Eberle said that it was comparatively large for mammals at the time. Eberle further expressed her happiness that the town of Rangely, which was near Dinosaur National Monument, is getting its due. "It's a small town, but, in my experience as a palaeontologist, a lot of cool things come out of rural environments. It's nice to see western Colorado have an exciting discovery," Eberle said.

"The region might have looked kind of like Louisiana," explained ReBecca Hunt-Foster, who is a palaeontologist at Dinosaur National Monument in Utah and western Colorado. "We see a lot of animals that were living in the water quite happily like sharks, rays and guitarfish," he added. John Foster recalled that he first saw a bit of mammal jaw hidden beneath a slab of sandstone which he had found from the site in 2016. The measurement of the fossil was about an inch long. "I said, 'Holy cow, that's huge,'" stated Foster, who is a scientist at the Utah Field House of Natural History State Park Museum in Vernal, Utah. (With inputs from agencies)

New discovery suggests THIS mammal existed alongside dinosaurs

<p>A very unexpected scene was witnessed in India's electronic city of Bengaluru when people abandoned their vehicles in the middle of the road and started walking towards their homes amid incessant rains, traffic jam,&nbsp;and waterlogging.&nbsp;</p>
