entire 180 million year reign on the planet. it s widely accepted this domination came to an end when the asteroid struck. but there s a mystery. no one s ever found direct evidence of a dinosaur killed by the impact or even a dinosaur that died within 1000 years of it. now, though, a discovery at tanis may have changed that. there s something here. that s hard. that s bone right next to the skin. this is the moment dinosaur s leg was discovered, captured by a bbc documentary crew. the fossil belongs to a small plant eating dinosaur called a thescelosaur. the team thinks it died in a huge flash flood set off by shockwaves from the asteroid strike. this looks like an animal whose leg has simply been ripped off really quickly. there s no evidence of disease, there are no obvious pathologies or traces of the leg being scavenged. this could be the first bit of dinosaur ever found that died as a direct result of being involved in the cataclysm that occurred
