Breakup of a long-period comet as the origin of the dinosaur extinction
Oxytropidoceras posted a topic in Fossil News
Astronomers: A comet fragment, not an asteroid, killed off the dinosaurs Jupiter's gravity pushed comet toward Sun; comet was ripped apart by tidal forces.

From the album: Dinosaurs
K-Pg Boundary Microtektites Hell Creek Formation Garfield Co., MT, USA These aren't fossils, but are relevant to the extinction of the non-avian dinosaurs, pterosaurs, large marine reptiles, and many other species of flora/fauna at the end of the Cretaceous. When a large meteor/asteroid struck the earth ~ 66 mya, it sent molten ejecta across the world. Some of this molten material, sourced from the impact site, was shaped by its trajectory through the atmosphere and cooled into small, glassy droplets. The black blobs you see are those droplets, called tektites-

The Nastiest Feud in Science A Princeton geologist has endured decades of ridicule for arguing that the fifth extinction was caused not by an asteroid but by a series of colossal volcanic eruptions. But sheʼs reopened that debate.
