Compelling Evidence For Single Impact Extinction?


Recommended Posts

Posted

A new study at the University of Missouri-Columbia claims to provide compelling evidence that a single meteor impact was the cause of animal extinction 65 million years ago.

From the article:

MacLeod and his co-investigators studied sediment recovered from the Demerara Rise in the Atlantic Ocean northeast of South America, about 4,500 km (approximately 2,800 miles) from the impact site on the Yucatan Peninsula. Sites closer to and farther from the impact site have been studied, but few intermediary sites such as this have been explored.

Interesting since I just watched a show contradicting this very thing.

All this reminds me of is that book by the authors of the Berenstein Bears and it said that all the dinosaurs either died because of drought, ice age, or a meteor. That book was really awesome but it kind of creeped me out.
