A 6-mile-wide space rock and colossal eruptions racked Earth at the same fateful moment. Scientists have tried for decades to determine the primary suspect behind the Cretaceous Extinction.
Two studies agree that ancient eruptions likely played a supporting role in the mass extinction. But the devil is still in the details.
Some experts have long believed that a massive asteroid was a primary cause of dinosaurs’ extinction some 65 million years ago, but new analysis from a University at Albany psychology professor suggests that the dinosaurs were in trouble long before the asteroid hit.
The debate goes on: What killed off the dinosaurs?
Was it an asteroid or something inside that wiped the dinosaur off the face of the earth?
