Apart From Chicxulub, Another Asteroid Might Have Contributed to Dinosaur Extinction
A mysterious asteroid impact crater have been spotted on the seafloor which is believed to have formed at the same time when dinosaurs were wiped out from the planet. This could mean that not one, but two asteroid impacts were behind the extinction of dinosaurs.

Dinosaur-Killing Asteroid May Have Hit Earth During Spring, Research Suggests
The extinction of dinosaurs took place about 66 million years ago but we are yet to know the full impact of the asteroid that wiped out this species. Scientists are still studying the disaster and continuously unearthing new aspects of the devastating impact. Now, researchers say that if the asteroid's trajectory had been slightly different, it wou...

Climate Change Devastated Dinosaurs Not Once, But Twice
Most people know that land-dwelling dinosaurs were wiped out some 66 million years ago when an asteroid roughly twice the diameter of Paris crashed into Earth.
