Dinosaurs took over amid ice, not warmth, says a new study of ancient mass extinction
Many of us know the conventional theory of how the dinosaurs died 66 million years ago: in Earth's fiery collision with a meteorite, and a following global winter as dust and debris choked the atmosphere. But there was a previous extinction, far more.....»»
