Very interesting image, Dinosaurs have fascinated humans ever since they were found HBM & Best wishes
What happened on that day – when the Cretaceous ended with a bang and the dinosaurs’ death warrant was signed – was a catastrophe of unimaginable scale that, thankfully, human-kind has never experienced. A comet or an asteroid – we aren’t sure which – collided with the Earth, hitting what is now the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. It was about six miles wide, or about the size of mount Everest. It was probably moving at a speed of around 67,000 miles per hour, more than a hundred times faster than a jet airliner. When it slammed into our planet, it hit with the force of over 100 trillion tons of TNT, somewhere in the vicinity of a billion nuclear bombs’ worth of energy. It plowed some twenty-five miles through the crust and into the mantle, leaving a crater 6hat was over 100 miles wide. ~ Page 315
