Asteroid that killed dinosaurs also caused GIANT tsunamis

July 16, 2021 - dinosaurs.

Kinsland and his colleagues expressed hope that other post-collision tsunami ripples will be unearthed – piecing together the puzzle of the extinction event more than 60 million years ago. (Related: Asteroid that wiped out dinosaurs may have created the Amazon rainforest, study suggests.)

But prior to the discovery by Kinsland and his colleagues, a team of paleontologists discovered a site further away from the Chicxulub crater that showed ...

U.K. museum claims birds are queer, dinosaurs were LGBTQ

March 28, 2024 - dinosaurs may have had an LGBTQ history, citing a fossilized dinosaur footprint alongside a personal anecdote about the individual who discovered it. "We cannot comment on the sexuality of the dinosaur who made this footprint, but we do know that the 11-year-old boy who found it is now grown up, happily married to his husband Greg in a pink house in Hastings," it states.Museum makes questionable historical assertions

Moreover, the guide makes questionable historical ...

Lasting gift from the dinosaurs: They fertilized our ecosystem

August 23, 2018 -

With over a decade of experience in studying large animals and their impact on the planet's fertility, Doughty decided to concentrate his efforts on dinosaurs. Specifically, to determine their role on the environment.

As he explained to ScienceDaily.com: “Theory suggests that large animals are disproportionately important to the spread of fertility across the planet. What better way to test this than to compare fertility in the world during the Cretaceous period ...

Dinosaurs were thriving before asteroid strike — new fossil evidence challenges extinction theories

October 27, 2025 -

New research has upended long-standing assumptions about the dinosaurs' final days, revealing that these prehistoric giants were thriving right up until the asteroid impact that wiped them out 66 million years ago.

Fossils excavated from New Mexico's San Juan Basin—dated to within 300,000 years of the extinction event—show a rich and varied ecosystem, contradicting theories that dinosaurs were already in decline before their sudden ...

Study: Asteroid that wiped out dinosaurs allowed flowers to grow on the planet

September 22, 2023 -

Details of the study were published in the journal Biology Letters.

After an asteroid struck Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula 66 million years ago, Earth lost at least three-quarters of its species, along with all non-avian dinosaurs.

Experts call this devastating period the Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) mass extinction event.

New modeling showed that, even amid widespread devastation, angiosperms or the major families of flowering plants were adaptable ...

Asteroid that wiped out dinosaurs may have created the Amazon rainforest, study suggests

April 16, 2021 -

Around 66 million years ago, a seven-mile-wide meteor struck what is now the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. Named the Chicxulub impactor, the meteor produced clouds of dust and ash and catapulted fragments of rock into the sky, triggering widespread wildfires.

Over time, the devastating impact drove the extinction of around 75 percent of all plant and animal species on the planet, including all terrestrial dinosaurs. The disaster also drastically changed the environment across ...

Climate change didn’t hurt the dinosaurs… they were thriving until the asteroid struck

July 18, 2019 -

New geological assessment of the Cretaceous Period finds that dinosaurs thrived during climate change

New geological evidence, analyzed by scientists from Imperial College London, University College London and University of Bristol, finds that dinosaur populations were actually thriving before the asteroid hit. The reason why climate change is believed to have contributed to the dinosaur’s demise is merely based on the concentration of fossils found in regions across the ...

Asteroid impact triggered the “impact winter” that likely killed dinosaurs 66 million years ago – study

October 08, 2020 - According to a recent study, the asteroid that hit Earth 66 million years ago likely released an enormous amount of material into the atmosphere, leading to the extinction of non-avian dinosaurs and several other species. In their report, which was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, an international team of researchers examined sediment samples from the impact site, called the Chicxulub crater, in what is now the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico, ...

Schools are now allowing children to identify as cats, horses, dinosaurs and all sorts of other things

June 21, 2023 -

(Article republished from EndOfTheAmericanDream.com)

Things have gotten particularly absurd in the United Kingdom.  According to an investigation that was conducted by the Telegraph, schools in the UK are now allowing children to identify as all sorts of things…

In other schools, one apparently insists on being addressed as a dinosaur, one claims to identify as a horse while another is said to wear a cape and demands to be acknowledged as a moon.

In the old days, ...

It turns out, dinosaurs also had great hearing – which made them even better hunters than previously thought

September 06, 2019 -

Birds are often described as feathery dinosaurs. Crocodilians are also considered to be the closest living relations to the extinct "terrible lizards." All three groups of animals share a common ancestor called archosaurs.

Researchers from the University of Maryland (UMD) revealed that alligators use the same auditory-based method as birds. Based on the discovery, their shared archosaur ancestors might have tracked prey and predators alike with their sense ...

Worst extinction since the dinosaurs: Total biomass of flying insects down by a staggering 76%, warn German researchers

February 24, 2020 - dinosaurs.

According to Sorg, the total annual biomass of flying insects collected by him and several volunteers have plummeted by 76 percent since the Society first started its collection – a troubling scenario that can disastrously impact global food chains and habitats.

“We only became aware of the seriousness of this decline in 2011, and every year since then we have seen it get worse,” Sorg said, noting that at the time, the news did not make major ...

Asteroid that killed the dinosaurs also cooled Earth’s climate; more proof temperatures have ebbed and flowed over eons

September 29, 2018 - dinosaurs as well as around 75 percent of all the animal and plant species that had been living on Earth at the time.Revised calculations show much more dramatic cooling caused by asteroid

After recalculating its effects in light of this new information about the angle of impact, the researchers found that a global cooling disaster occurred that was far worse than previous estimates showed. In fact, they now believe that the Chicxulub event actually released more ...

Mineral samples reveal a previously unknown loss of life GREATER than the mass extinction of dinosaurs 65 million years ago

September 04, 2020 - dinosaurs around 66 million years ago.

Hodgskiss and fellow researcher Peter Crockford, in a paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, noted that this die-off ultimately paved the way for larger, more complex animals and plants to thrive.A “snapshot” of the past

The researchers, assisted by experts from Nanjing University, the University of Colorado-Boulder and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, examined several samples ...

Bedbugs MIGHT have been around since the time of the dinosaurs, but you can still get rid of them with these natural remedies

December 16, 2019 - dinosaurs could be a likely candidate. The reptiles were often considered nomads, which meant they didn't build nests, burrows, beds or roosts – places where bedbugs like to live.

The researchers also found that bedbugs adapt to humans like clockwork. A new human-feeding bedbug species develops every 500,000 years. Furthermore, bedbugs can adapt in different ways, so they can bob to and fro between different hosts.

“These species are the ones we can reasonably ...

Scientists find dinosaur hatchery in India with more than 250 fossilized titanosaur eggs

January 25, 2023 -

The hatchery is located in the Lameta Formation, a geological formation in India's Narmada Valley that spans 620 miles from east to west. It covers three Indian states – Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat and Maharashtra – and hosts numerous fossilized dinosaur eggs and skeletons dating from the late Cretaceous period.

According to the scientists, the hatchery had been composed of 92 nesting sites that once belonged to titanosaurs. This family of herbivorous dinosaurs ...

Mad scientists create a chicken that has a dinosaur face in shocking new experiment

April 19, 2017 -

Indeed, these scientists have created chickens that resemble their ancient ancestors, dinosaurs, by manipulating their genetics. To conduct their "experiment," the scientists altered the genes of chicken embryos to change how the skull and beak would form. Apparently, they hope to find the missing link between modern birds and dinosaurs.

Paleontologist Dr. Bhart-Anjan S. Bhullar and biologist Dr. Arhat Abzhanov led the shocking study -- which is really ...

A glimpse of the past: Photographer “reanimates” dinosaur skeletons through photographs

January 10, 2020 - dinosaurs such as the fearsome predator Tyrannosaurus rex and the imposing behemoth Triceratops are coming back to life.

“I sought to really bring these animals to life,” Christian Voigt said about his project, which he has dubbed “Evolution.”

According to Voigt, the project all started with wanting to bring the prehistoric animals out of their glass boxes.

Known for his hyper-realistic landscape photography and architectural work, Voigt, in an interview with the Daily ...
