The meteor that killed off the dinosaurs...

I was listening to XM radio yesterday and one of the talk shows had mentioned a meteor killed off all the dinosaurs. Maybe I was absent the day they taught that lesson.

Lets see... dinosaurs are all around the globe. Huge creatures on land, in the water and flying around the sky. Real creatures... not mythological and one freaking meteor wiped all of them out?

Oh, I've got to know more about this. Maybe I can find something on YouTube.

Actually a friend mentioned The Chicxulub Crater, Luis Alvarez & his Walter and their hypothesis... the mass extinction of the dinosaurs and other living things was caused by the impact of a large asteroid on the Earth some sixty-five million years ago.

There you have it! one meteor responsible for killing off the dinosaurs.

 the trip is.. no one was there to determine exactly what happen, so conjecture, suffices to stand when people project it from behind a PhD
