The end-Cretaceous extinction—the massive extinction event widely attributed to an asteroid impact that wiped out all non-avian dinosaurs approximately 66 million years ago—had a profound ...
The Idaho Museum of Natural History will hold a fun and lighthearted look at the biology and ecology of the world depicted in ...
These fragments, from western North America, reveal adaptations for terrestrial locomotion several million years before the Cretaceous extinction. Palaeontology published these findings, obtained by ...

"Modern mammals exhibit a greater diversity in coloration and melanosome morphology, a variation that may not have emerged until after the Cretaceous mass extinction," Li Ruoshuang noted.
More mammals were living on the ground several million years before the mass extinction event that wiped ... plant life changed toward the end of the Cretaceous, with flowering plants, known ...
Scientists don't call it the "Great Dying" for nothing. About 252 million years ago, upward of 80% of all marine species ...

Researchers first identified the cause of the end-Cretaceous extinction by the discovery of the “iridium anomaly” — a 1-centimeter-thick (0.4-inch-thick) layer of sedimentary rock rich in ...
“It was the enrichment of iridium in Cretaceous/Palaeogene boundary sediments that was the highly convincing ‘smoking gun’ for the dinosaur extinction when (the) idea was first published in 198 ...
