Yucatan Asteroid Didn't Kill Dinosaurs, Study Says

Sixty-five million years ago, a city-size asteroid slammed into what is now Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula at a site known as Chicxulub (pronounced CHEEK-shoo-loob). The impact left a crater 110 to 170 miles (180 to 280 kilometers) wide and spewed massive volumes of ash into Earth's atmosphere.
Did that cataclysmic event trigger the extinction of the dinosaurs and 70 percent of the world's other species? For over a decade, most scientists said yes. |
