At a site dubbed Tanis in North Dakota’s Hell Creek Formation, paleontologists have unearthed an assemblage of exquisitely-preserved fossilized organisms...
Paleontologists largely agree that the Chicxulub asteroid impact, possibly coupled with intense volcanic activity in India’s Deccan Traps, wiped out...
The Cretaceous/Paleogene mass extinction ended the reign of the dinosaurs and wiped out 76% of species on Earth. It was caused by the impact of an asteroid...
Ground-dwelling birds survived while their close, tree-dwelling relatives went extinct during the end-Cretaceous mass extinction event, caused by the impact...
The Chicxulub crater is the only well-preserved peak-ring crater on Earth and linked to the Cretaceous-Tertiary mass extinction, an event 65 million years...
A team of researchers from the National Center for Atmospheric Research, the University of Colorado Boulder and NASA has used a world-class computer model...

An international team of scientists from India and the United States has uncovered evidence that a massive comet or asteroid impact on Earth 66 million...
A massive volcanic eruption in what is now India about 250,000 years before the cataclysmic Chicxulub asteroid impact may have played a role in the extinction...
According to a new study of fossilized leaves of angiosperms (flowering plants excluding conifers) published in the journal PLoS Biology, the massive asteroid...
A huge asteroid, up to five times larger than the rock thought to have wiped out the dinosaurs, crashed into Earth more than 3 billion years ago, say researchers...
An object that killed the dinosaurs roughly 66 million years ago may have been a comet, rather than an asteroid, say researchers Prof Jason Moore and Prof...
Chicxulub, an asteroid that collided with the Earth 66 million years ago and is believed to wipe out the dinosaurs, may have triggered a global firestorm...
A new study published online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences shows that the Chicxulub asteroid collision, widely thought to have...
