Oh, they've found the crater. It's off Yucatan. The previous evidence was the Iridium layer right at the K-T horizon. Iridium is rare on Earth, but somewhat more common in asteroids.
The dinosaurs died by a giant asteroid that hit Mexico.
B.CAnswer:Although the majority of dinosaurs died out about 70 million years ago, the present day birds are evolved from theropods and are direct descendants of the dinosaurs. In that manner dinosaurs have not become extinct.
Paleontologist James Kirkland was one of the first scientists to theorize that the dinosaurs became extinct because of an asteroid that slammed into the earth. It didn't take long for other scientists to come to the same conclusion and the theory is now widely accepted.
Dinosaurs became extinct around 65 million years ago due to a combination of factors, primarily believed to be a large asteroid impact and volcanic activity. Other factors such as climate change and disease may have also contributed to their extinction.
because have you seen any dinosaurs around? and go dig everywhere you will eventuly find dinosaur bones.
Dinosaurs became extinct around 65 million years ago during the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event. It is believed that a combination of climate change, asteroid impact, and volcanic activity contributed to their extinction.
No. Dinosaurs are not around anymore. They became extinct thousands of years ago.
There were no more dinosaurs when the humans evolved. All of them became extinct.
The first dinosaurs evolved in the Mesozoic. At the end of the Mesozoic, all non avian dinosaurs became extinct. Therefor, all non avian dinosaurs, and some avian dinosaurs (birds), lived in the Mesozoic.
yes there are many craters in the moons surface. asteroids in space or from the asteroid belt come off and hit the moons but mostly other planets. this happened more frequently back in the dinosaurs time... which is one of the claimed reasons why the dinosaurs became extinct.
He believes that dinosaurs became extinct as a result of an asteroid or comet striking earth about 70 million years ago. Also that intelligent life has developed on Earth only because we have been lucky enough that there has not been a major collision since then.
Dinosaurs became extinct 65 million years ago, at the end of the Cretaceous period.
