A new study shows that the event that wiped out the dinosaurs caused only a small drop in shark and ray species at the same ...

Dinosaurs weren't in decline when an asteroid smashed into Earth and wiped them out, scientists say. Instead, the idea that dinosaur diversity was declining before the asteroid struck 66 million years ...

A new study using advanced artificial intelligence (AI) has revealed that the asteroid strike that wiped out the dinosaurs 66 ...

There might still be dinosaurs living on Earth today — if not for the giant asteroid. It’s a long-debated issue, but now researchers say the idea Dinosaurs were in decline before the Chicxulub ...

Fossils reveal dinosaurs were flourishing in diverse ecosystems right up until the asteroid impact ended their reign.

An asteroid strike 66 million years ago caused millions of species to go extinct—including many mollusks. By studying the impacts of this ancient event, scientists hope to ensure that mussels, ...

After years of detective work, University geosciences professor Gerta Keller and her colleagues have found that an intensive period of volcanic eruptions and a series of asteroid impacts likely ended ...

For decades, scientists have debated what wiped out the dinosaurs 66 million years ago. The usual suspects? A massive asteroid or powerful volcanic eruptions. But now, researchers from Dartmouth ...

A massive meteorite impact and extreme volcanic activity occurred around the same time that Earth's large dinosaurs went extinct. But, did the volcanic activity play a role in the mass extinction, or ...

The idea that dinosaurs were already declining well before the asteroid impact 66 million years ago seems established.

A recent study led by geosciences professor Gerta Keller challenges the most commonly-held belief for the mass-extinction of dinosaurs at the end of the Cretaceous period 65 million years ago. The ...
