How do scientists know that a meteorite killed the dinosaurs?
In: Other
There’s a massive crater (most likely cause by a meteor big enough to nearly wipe out all life) near Mexico that dates to right around the time period when the freshest dino fossils are dated to.
“Hmmm we’ve never found a Dino fossil newer than 66 million years old. I wonder why that is?”
“Oh hey, look at this absolutely massive 66 million year old crater. Wow, something this size would definitely fuck up the planet and most of the life on it for a long time” 1+1= 2
It’s not recorded definitive proof, but it’s not a wild guess either
